The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is60°. The width of the slit is1 μm. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of the same width is made near it, Young's fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance50cmfrom the slits. If the observed fringe width is1cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e., the distance between the centres of each slit.)

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

In diffraction,dsin30°=λ,λ=d2



Young’s fringe width [d'- the separation between two slits]

β=λ×Dd'10-2=d2×50×10-2d'
10-2=10-6×50×10-22×d'd'=25 μm.
