Correct answer: 601.50

  1. Position of the nthn^{\text{th}}nth bright fringe in YDSE

For slit separation ddd, screen distance DDD, wavelength λ\lambdaλ, the position of the nthn^{\text{th}}nth bright fringe from the central fringe is

yn=nλDd.y_n = \frac{n\lambda D}{d}.yn​=dnλD​.

Here the central bright fringe remains fixed at OOO, so for the 8th8^{\text{th}}8th bright fringe above OOO,

y8(t)=8λDd(t).y_8(t)=\frac{8\lambda D}{d(t)}.y8​(t)=d(t)8λD​.

  1. Given data

d(t)=(0.8+0.04sin⁡ωt) mm.d(t)=(0.8+0.04\sin \omega t)\ \text{mm}.d(t)=(0.8+0.04sinωt) mm.

So the slit separation varies between

dmin⁡=0.8−0.04=0.76 mm,d_{\min}=0.8-0.04=0.76\ \text{mm},dmin​=0.8−0.04=0.76 mm, dmax⁡=0.8+0.04=0.84 mm.d_{\max}=0.8+0.04=0.84\ \text{mm}.dmax​=0.8+0.04=0.84 mm.

Also,

D=1 m,λ=6000 A˚=6×10−7 m.D=1\ \text{m}, \qquad \lambda=6000\,\text{\AA}=6\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}.D=1 m,λ=6000A˚=6×10−7 m.

  1. Extreme positions of the 8th8^{\text{th}}8th bright fringe

Since y8∝1dy_8 \propto \frac{1}{d}y8​∝d1​,

  • maximum position occurs at dmin⁡d_{\min}dmin​,
  • minimum position occurs at dmax⁡d_{\max}dmax​.

Thus,

ymax⁡=8λDdmin⁡,ymin⁡=8λDdmax⁡.y_{\max}=\frac{8\lambda D}{d_{\min}}, \qquad y_{\min}=\frac{8\lambda D}{d_{\max}}.ymax​=dmin​8λD​,ymin​=dmax​8λD​.

Convert slit separations into meters:

dmin⁡=0.76×10−3 m,dmax⁡=0.84×10−3 m.d_{\min}=0.76\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m}, \qquad d_{\max}=0.84\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m}.dmin​=0.76×10−3 m,dmax​=0.84×10−3 m.

Now,

8λD=8×6×10−7×1=4.8×10−6 m.8\lambda D = 8\times 6\times 10^{-7}\times 1 = 4.8\times 10^{-6}\ \text{m}.8λD=8×6×10−7×1=4.8×10−6 m.

So,

ymax⁡=4.8×10−60.76×10−3=6.315789×10−3 m,y_{\max}=\frac{4.8\times 10^{-6}}{0.76\times 10^{-3}}=6.315789\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m},ymax​=0.76×10−34.8×10−6​=6.315789×10−3 m,

ymin⁡=4.8×10−60.84×10−3=5.714286×10−3 m.y_{\min}=\frac{4.8\times 10^{-6}}{0.84\times 10^{-3}}=5.714286\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m}.ymin​=0.84×10−34.8×10−6​=5.714286×10−3 m.

  1. Separation between extreme positions

Δy=ymax⁡−ymin⁡\Delta y = y_{\max}-y_{\min}Δy=ymax​−ymin​

=6.315789×10−3−5.714286×10−3= 6.315789\times 10^{-3}-5.714286\times 10^{-3}=6.315789×10−3−5.714286×10−3

=6.01503×10−4 m.= 6.01503\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}.=6.01503×10−4 m.

Convert to micrometer:

Δy=6.01503×10−4×106=601.503 μm.\Delta y = 6.01503\times 10^{-4}\times 10^6 = 601.503\ \mu\text{m}.Δy=6.01503×10−4×106=601.503 μm.

Hence,

601.50 μm\boxed{601.50\ \mu\text{m}}601.50 μm​

So the required integer-type numerical value (as given in the stored answer format) is 601.50601.50601.50.
