In young’s double slit experiment the distance d between the slits 
and 
is 1 mm. What should the width of each slit be so to obtain 10 maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maximum of the single silt pattern?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
: The linear separation between n bright fringes in an interference pattern on the screen is 
As 
the angular separation between n bright fringes
For 10 bright fringes
The angular width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern due to slit of width a is
