Q.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slit separation d is 0.3 mm and the screen distance D is 1 m. A parallel beam of light of wavelength 600 nm is incident on the slits at angle α as shown in figure. On the screen, the point O is equidistant from the slits and distance PO is 11 mm. Which of the following statement (s) is/are correct ?

a

Fringe spacing depends on α.

b

For α=0.36π degree, there will be destructive interference at point O.

c

For α=0.36π degree, there will be destructive interference at point P.

d

For α=0, there will be constructive interference at point P. 

answer is A.

Detailed Solution

Total geometric path difference for point P is

x=dsinα+ydD

Question Image

For option (1),

α=0.36π degree

Since α is small, so

x=αd+ydD x=3900 nm

Since x=3900 nm is an odd multiple of λ2 i.e., 300 nm.

2n-1λ2=x      (for destructive interference)

n=7

For option (2),

Fringe width in all the above case reman unchanged.

For option (3),

x0=0 and ydD=3300 nm

As α=0 (Destructive interference at P)

For option (4),

If α=0.36π degree

Then x0=αd=600 nm

x0=nλ (for n=1)  (Constructive interference)
