YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

The fringe width in an interference pattern is ' X '. The distance between the sixth dark fringe from one side of central bright band to the fourth bright fringe on other side is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

6th darkO4th bright5.5X4X
  1. 6th dark fringe on one side: (6−0.5)X=5.5X(6 - 0.5)X = 5.5X from the centre.
  2. 4th bright fringe on the other side: 4X4X from the centre.
  3. Total distance =5.5X+4X=9.5X= 5.5X + 4X = 9.5X
  4. So the answer is (d) 9.5X9.5X.
