Question 154: Waves Optics

Question

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are placed 0.320 mm apart. Light of wavelength $$\lambda $$ = 500 nm is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular range $$-$$ 30o$$ \le $$$$	heta $$$$ \le $$30o is :

Accepted Answer

We know, path difference,
d sin$$	heta $$ = n$$\lambda $$
here  n  = no of bright fringer in the angle
here given
d = 0.32 $$ 	imes $$ 10

Waves Optics

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are placed 0.320 mm apart. Light of wavelength $\lambda = 500 nm is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular range - 30o \le \theta \le $30o is :
