The distance between two slits is 1.50 *10-5 m. A beam of coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates these slits, and the distance between the slit and the screen is 2.00 m. What is the distance on the screen between the central bright fringe and the fourth-order bright fringe?

Respuesta :

Answer: y = 2.4×10^-6m or y= 2.4μm

Explanation: The formulae for the distance between the central bright fringe to any other fringe in pattern is given as

y = R×mλ/d

Where y = distance between nth fringe and Central bright spot fringe.

m = position of fringe = 4

λ = wavelength of light= 600nm = 600×10^-9 m

d = distance between slits = 1.50×10^-5m

R = distance between slit and screen = 2m

y = 2 × 4 × 600×10^-9/2

y = 4800×10^-9/2

y = 2400 × 10^-9

y = 2.4×10^-6m or y= 2.4μm

The distance on the screen between the central bright fringe and the fourth-order bright fringe is  [tex]2.6 \times 10^{-6} \;\rm m[/tex].

Given data:

The distance between the two slits is, [tex]d =1.50 \times 10^{-5} \;\rm m[/tex].

The wavelength of coherent light is, [tex]\lambda =600 \;\rm nm =600 \times 10^{-9} \;\rm m[/tex].

The distance between the slit and screen is, R = 2.00 m.

The formulae for the distance between the central bright fringe to any other fringe in pattern is given as

y = R×mλ/d

Here,

m is the order of fringes formed. And it is also used for representing the position of image, and for fourth-order bright fringe, m = 4.

Solve by substituting the values as,

[tex]y = \dfrac{2 \times 4 \times 600 \times 10^{-9}}{1.50 \times 10^{-5}}\\\\y =2.6 \times 10^{-6} \;\rm m[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the distance on the screen between the central bright fringe and the fourth-order bright fringe is  [tex]2.6 \times 10^{-6} \;\rm m[/tex].
