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.
