Question

Estimate the distance (in cm) between the central bright region and the third dark fringe on a screen 6.3 m from two double slits 0.49 mm apart illuminated by 739-nm light. (give answer in millimeters)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

distance of third dark fringe

= 2.5 x λ D / d

where λ is wavelength of light , D is screen distance and d is slit separation

putting the given values

required distance = 2.5  x 739 x 10⁻⁹  x 6.3 / .49 x 10⁻³

= 23753.57 x 10⁻⁶

= 23.754 x 10⁻³ m

= 23.754 mm .
