MCQ
In Young double slit experiment, when two light waves form third minimum, they have
  • A
    Phase difference of $3\pi $
  • B
    Phase difference of $\frac{{5\pi }}{2}$
  • C
    Path difference of $3\lambda $
  • Path difference of $\frac{{5\lambda }}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
Path difference of $\frac{{5\lambda }}{2}$
d
(d)For minima, path difference $\Delta = (2n - 1)\frac{\lambda }{2}$
For third minima $n = 3 \Rightarrow \Delta = (2 \times 3 - 1)\frac{\lambda }{2} = \frac{{5\lambda }}{2}$
