NEET Physics Interference MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

In Young's Double Slit Experiment, the separation between the slits is 0.025 mm, the distance to the screen is 5 cm, and the wavelength of light used is 5 × 10⁻⁵ cm. What is the distance between the central maximum and the second-order bright fringe?

A

0.02 cm

B

0.04 cm

C

0.06 cm

D

0.08 cm

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The distance x for the nth order bright fringe is given by x = nλD/d. For n = 2, x = 2 × 5 × 10⁻⁵ cm × 5 cm / 0.025 mm = 0.04 cm.
