Question
A double slit interference experiment performed with a light of wavelength 600 nm forms an interference fringe pattern on a screen with $10^{\text {th }}$ bright fringe having its centre at a distance of 10 mm from the central maximum. Distance of the centre of the same $10^{\text {th }}$ bright fringe from the central maximum when the source of light is replaced by another source of wavelength 660 nm would be $\qquad$ mm .

Answer

Sol. In case of YDSE the distance of $\mathrm{n}^{\text {th }}$ maxima from central maxima is given by
$\mathrm{Y}=\frac{\mathrm{n} \lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}}$
Here $\mathrm{n}, \mathrm{D}$ \& d are same
So, $\mathrm{y} \times \lambda$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{y}_{2}}{\mathrm{y}_{1}}=\frac{\lambda_{2}}{\lambda_{1}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{y}_{2}}{10 \mathrm{~mm}}=\frac{660 \mathrm{~nm}}{600 \mathrm{~nm}}$
$\Rightarrow y_{2}=11 \mathrm{~mm}$
