AIIMS 2018 Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
In YDSE there is a point P on the screen. What is path difference at point P. Given d = 1 mm, y = 2 mm and D = 1 m

A
2×10⁻⁶ m
B
3×10⁻⁶ m
C
4×10⁻⁶ m
D
5×10⁻⁶ m
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE), the path difference at a point on the screen can be calculated using the formula , where is the distance between the slits, is the distance from the central maximum to point , and is the distance from the slits to the screen. Substituting the values , , and , we find . Other options are incorrect as they do not match the calculated path difference based on the given parameters.
