In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength $600 \; nm$,the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is $0.1^{\circ}$. What is the spacing between the two slits?

  • A
    $3.44 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • B
    $6.88 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • C
    $9.94 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • D
    $1.52 \times 10^{-3} \; m$

In Young's double-slit experiment,a monochromatic light source is used to illuminate slits $S_1$ and $S_2$. An interference pattern is obtained on the screen with a fringe width of $w$. If a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the new fringe width $w'$ becomes:

$A$ mixture of light,consisting of wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and an unknown wavelength,illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further,it is observed that the $3^{rd}$ bright fringe of the known light coincides with the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data,the wavelength of the unknown light is ...... $nm$.
