Question
The separation between the consecutive dark fringes in a Young's double slit experiment is 1.0mm. The screen is placed at a distance of 2.5m from the slits and the separation between the slits is 1.0mm. 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 = 1mm = 10-3m
So, $10^{-3}\text{m}=\frac{25\times\lambda}{10^{-3}}\Rightarrow\lambda=4\times10^{-7}\text{m}=400\text{nm}.$
