YDSE: Film, Medium & Two Wavelengths

The Young's double slit interference experiment is performed using light consisting of 480 nm and 600 nm wavelengths to form interference patterns. The least number of the bright fringes of 480 nm light that are required for the first coincidence with the bright fringes formed by 600 nm light is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Coincidence: n1×480=n2×600⇒n1n2=54n_1 \times 480 = n_2 \times 600 \Rightarrow \dfrac{n_1}{n_2} = \dfrac{5}{4}.
  2. Least n1=5n_1 = 5 (coincides with 4th bright of 600 nm).
  3. So the answer is (c) 5.
