Coherent sources and their importance in interference

Question

Two slits are separated by a distance of 0.5 mm and illuminated with light of $λ = 6000 Å$ . If the screen is placed 2.5 m from the slits. The distance of the third bright image from the centre will be

Moderate

A

1.5 mm
B

3 mm
C

6 mm
D

9 mm

Solution

$Distance of the n^{th} bright fringe from the centre x_{n} = \frac{nλD}{d} \Rightarrow x_{3} = \frac{3 \times 6000 \times 10^{- 10} \times 2 .5}{0 .5 \times 10^{- 3}} = 9 \times 10^{- 3} m = 9 mm$
