Answer:
Explanation:
Width of central diffraction peak is given by the following expression
Width of central diffraction peak= 2 λ D/ d₁
where d₁ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.
Width of other fringes become half , that is each of secondary diffraction fringe is equal to
λ D/ d₁
Width of central interference peak is given by the following expression
Width of each of bright fringe = λ D/ d₂
where d₂ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.
Now given that the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes
so ( 2 λ D/ d₁) / λ D/ d₂ = 13
then ( λ D/ d₁) / λ D/ d₂ = 13 / 2
= 6.5
no of fringes contained within each secondary diffraction peak = 6.5
