A double slit interference experiment performed with a light of wavelength 600 nm forms an interference fringe pattern on a screen with 10 th bright fringe having its centre at a distance of 10 mm from the central maximum. Distance of the centre of the same 10 th bright fringe from the central maximum when the source of light is replaced by another source of wavelength 660 nm would be mm .

Correct answer: 11
-
In Young’s double slit experiment, the position of the th bright fringe from the central maximum is where is the fringe width.
-
For the first source:
- Wavelength
- Position of 10th bright fringe:
So, for the same experimental setup ( and unchanged).
- When the wavelength is changed to the new position of the same 10th bright fringe will scale in the same ratio:
Thus,
- Therefore, the distance of the 10th bright fringe from the central maximum is
