YDSE: Fringe Width & Fringe Positions

Using Young's double slit experiment, a monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 A˚\text{Å} produces fringes of fringe width 0.5 mm. If another monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 A˚\text{Å} is used and the separation between the slits is doubled, then the new fringe width will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. β∝λd\beta \propto \frac{\lambda}{d}
  2. β′=0.5×60005000×12=0.3\beta' = 0.5\times\frac{6000}{5000}\times\frac{1}{2} = 0.3 mm
  3. So the answer is (d).
