Question
In a Young's double  - slit experience, the slits are 2mm apart and are illuminated with a mixture of two wavelengths λ0=750nm and λ=900nm.  The minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a screen 2 m away from the slits where a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincides with a bright fringe from the other, is
Options:
A .  1.5mm
B .  3 mm
C .  4.5 mm
D .  6 mm
Answer: Option C
:
C
y0=n[Dλd] and yn=n(Dλd)
Equating yn and yn,we get
nn=λλ=900750=65
Hence, the first position at which overlapping occurs is
y6=y6=6(2)(750×109)2×103=4.5mm
