Answer:
a) y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm
b) y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm
Explanation:
The formula of Young's Double Slit experiment will be used here:
where,
y = distance between dark spots = ?
λ = wavelength
L = distance of screen = 2 m
d = slit width = 4 x 10⁻⁴ m
a) FOR λ = 480 nm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁷ m:
<u>y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm</u>
<u></u>
a) FOR λ = 640 nm = 6.4 x 10⁻⁷ m:
<u>y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm</u>
