Question
Find the angular separation between the consecutive bright fringes in a Young's double slit experiment with blue-green light of wavelength 500nm. The separation between the slits is 2.0 × 10-3m.

Answer
Given that, $\lambda=500\text{nm}=500\times10^{-9}\text{m}$ and d = 2 × 10-3m
As shown in the figure, angular separation $\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{dD}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}$
So, $\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{500\times10^{-9}}{2\times10^{-3}}=250\times10^{-6}$
= 25 × 10-5 radian = 0.014 degree.
As shown in the figure, angular separation $\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{dD}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}$
So, $\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}=\frac{500\times10^{-9}}{2\times10^{-3}}=250\times10^{-6}$
= 25 × 10-5 radian = 0.014 degree.
