Question

In the figure is shown Young’s double slit experiment. Q is the position of the first bright fringe on the right side of O. P is the 11th fringe on the other side, as measured from Q. If the wavelength of the light used is 6000×10-10m, then S1B will be equal to 

Moderate
Solution

 P is the position of 11th bright fringe from Q. From central position O, P will be the position of 10th bright fringe. 
Path difference between the waves reaching at P =S1B=10λ=10×6000×1010=6×106m..
