STANDARD Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question
In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is 1°. The slit separation is 0.01 mm. The wavelength of the light is
0.174 nm
0.174 Å
0.174 μm
0.174 × 10⁻⁴ m
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Angular fringe width, θ = λ/d. Given d = 0.01 mm = 10⁻⁵ m, θ = 1° = π/180 radians. Therefore, λ = π/180 × 10⁻⁵ = 1.74 × 10⁻⁷ m = 0.174 μm.
