Q13 / 107 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Wave Optics

In a double-slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 1 m away. A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of double-slit within the central maxima of a single-slit pattern?

  • Correct answer
    A
    0.2 mm
     
  • B
    0.1 mm
     
  • C
    0.5 mm
     
  • D
    0.02 mm
     

Solution

d =1 mm=1×10-3 m

D=1 m.,    λ=500×10-9 m

Width of the central maximum = width of 10 maxima in YDSE

2λDa=10λDd

a=0.2d=0.2 mm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
