STANDARD Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In Young's double slit experiment distance between two sources is 0.1 mm. The distance of screen from the source is 20 cm. Wavelength of light used is 5460 Å. Then, angular position of the first dark fringe is

A

0.08°

B

0.16°

C

0.20°

D

0.31°

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The angular position of the first dark fringe is given by θ₁ = (2n - 1) λ/2d. For the first dark fringe, n = 1. Substituting the given values, θ₁ = (5460 × 10⁻¹⁰ m) / (2 × 0.1 × 10⁻³ m) = 0.16°.
