STANDARD Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
In Young's double slit experiment the slits are separated by 0.28 mm and the screen is placed 1.4 m away. The distance between the central and fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm. The wavelength of light used in the experiment is
A
6 × 10⁻⁷ m
B
3 × 10⁻⁷ m
C
1.5 × 10⁻⁷ m
D
5 × 10⁻⁶ m
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using the formula for fringe separation, Δy = λL/d, where Δy = 1.2 cm, L = 1.4 m, and d = 0.28 mm, solving for λ gives 6 × 10⁻⁷ m.
