STANDARD Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Young’s experiment is performed with light of wavelength 6000 Å wherein 16 fringes occupy a certain region on the screen. If 24 fringes occupy the same region with another light of wavelength λ, then λ is

A

6000 Å

B

4500 Å

C

5000 Å

D

4000 Å

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the formula n₁λ₁ = n₂λ₂, where n₁ = 16, λ₁ = 6000 Å, n₂ = 24, we find λ₂ = (16 × 6000) / 24 = 4000 Å.
