Question
The separation between the consecutive dark fringes in a Young's double slit experiment is $1.0\ mm.$ The screen is placed at a distance of $2.5m$ from the slits and the separation between the slits is $1.0\ mm.$ Calculate the wavelength of light used for the experiment.

Answer

Given that, $\beta=1\text{ mm}=10^{-3}\text{m}, D = 2.5m$ and $d = 1\ mm = 10^{-3}m$
So, $10^{-3}\text{m}=\frac{25\times\lambda}{10^{-3}}$
$\Rightarrow\lambda=4\times10^{-7}\text{m}=400\text{ nm}.$

Radii of two circular current carrying coils are $r_1$ and $r_2$ respectively and number of turns in them are $n_1$ and $n_2$ respectively. They are joined in series. Prove that the ratio of produced magnetic fields at their centers is $n_1 r_2: n_2 r_1$. If coils are joined in parallel, then the ratio of magnetic fields produced at the centers is equivalent to $\left(r_2 / r_1\right)^2$.
