In Young's double slit experiment, show that:
`β = (λ"D")/"d"`
Where the terms have their usual meaning.
उत्तर
Assume that S is a light source that is receiving light from another light source. Two line sources, S1 and S2, are equally spaced apart from light source S.
Let S1S2 = d
Path difference between waves at point P,
S2P - S1P = S2A
ΔS1S2A and ΔPCO are similar to each other.
∴ `("S"_2"A")/("S"_1"S"_2) =("OP")/("CP")`
Since CO is very much greater than S1S2,
So CP ≈ CO
∴ `("S"_2"A")/("S"_1"S"_2) = ("OP")/("CO")`
`("S"_2"A")/"d" = x/"D"`
∴ Path difference = `x/"D"`
For bright fringes, = mλ
`x = m ("D"λ)/"d"`
For mth and (m + 1)th fringe,
`x_m = m ("D"λ)/"d"` and
`x_(m + 1) = (m + 1) ("D"λ)/"d"`
Fringe width, `β = x_(m + 1) - x_m`
= `(m + 1) ("D"λ)/"d" - m ("D"λ)/"d"`
`β = ("D"λ)/"d"`

A mica strip and a polystyrene strip are fitted on the two slits of a double slit apparatus. The thickness of the strips is 0.50 mm and the separation between the slits is 0.12 cm. The refractive index of mica and polystyrene are 1.58 and 1.55, respectively, for the light of wavelength 590 nm which is used in the experiment. The interference is observed on a screen at a distance one metre away. (a) What would be the fringe-width? (b) At what distance from the centre will the first maximum be located?
In Young’s double-slit experiment, using monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits.
