Question

White light is used to illuminate the two slits in a Young's double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is d and the screen is at a distance D(> d) from the slits. At a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, certain wavelengths are missing. Some of these missing wavelengths are :

λ=d23D

 λ=2d23D

λ=d2D

λ=2d2D

Solution

for missing wavelength, minima is formed

∴ Dx=(d2)×dD=(n+12)λ  for n=0 λ=d2D

d2D=(2n+1) λ2   n=1  λ=d23D
