The Young’s double slit experiment is performed with blue and with green light of wavelengths 4360 Å and 5460 Å respectively. If X is the distance of 4th maximum from the central one, then :
A
X(blue) = X(green)
B
X(blue) > X(green)
C
X(blue) < X(green)
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Fourth maxima will be at y = 4 β .
y = 4 β .
⇒ y = 
as λ Green > λ blue .
⇒ β Green > β blue ⇒ X Green > X blue
