In a Young’s double slit experiment with slit separation 0.1 mm, one observes a bright fringe at angle by using light of wavelength 1. When the light of wavelength 2 is used a bright fringe is seen at the same angle in the same set up. Given that 1 and 2 are in visible range (380 nm to 740 nm), their values are -
- A400 nm, 500 nm
- B625 nm, 500 nm
- C380 nm, 500 nm
- D380 nm, 525 nm

Correct answer: B
- Condition for bright fringe in YDSE
For a bright fringe at angle , the path difference must satisfy
where:
- is an integer
- is the wavelength
- Given angle
The angle is given as (in radians), so for small angles,
Thus,
So the bright fringe condition becomes
Hence,
- Find visible wavelengths
Since must lie in visible range to ,
This gives possible integer values of :
These are the visible wavelengths possible.
- Check options
We need two visible wavelengths that both produce a bright fringe at the same angle, i.e. both must satisfy
-
Option A: nm
not integer, so nm is not valid. -
Option B: nm
, ; both integers, so valid. -
Option C: nm
not integer, so invalid. -
Option D: nm
, ; neither is integer, so invalid.
- Final answer
The correct pair is
So the correct option is B.
