Question

A slit (wavelength λ=600nm) of adjustable width is used to illuminate two points 0.1 mm apart. Initially, the slit is closed and then gradually it is opened. The width at which the fringes on a screen 2 m apart will just disappear is

Moderate
Solution

The required angular width is ϕ=λd or bD=λd d=600×1090.1×103×2=12×103m=12mm
