Answer:
2.64 mm
Explanation:
We are given that
Distance between two slits=0.310=[tex]0.31\times 10^{-3} m[/tex]
1 mm=[tex]10^{-3} m[/tex]
Distance between slit and screen=4.3 m
Wavelength of red light =[tex]\lambda_1=660 nm=660\times 10^{-9} m[/tex]
1 nm=[tex]10^{-9}m[/tex]
Wavelength of blue light=[tex]\lambda_2=470 nm=470\times 10^{-9} m[/tex]
We have to find the distance on the screen between the first order bright fringe for each wavelength.
We know that
The distance between the first order bright fringes on the screen is given by
[tex]\Delta y=\frac{Rm}{d}\Delat \lambda[/tex]
Where
R=Distance between screen and slits
m=Order of fringe=1
d=distance between two slits
[tex]\Delta \lambda=[/tex] Difference in wavelength of two light source
Substitute the values then we get
Distance between the first order bright fringes on the screen for two sources =[tex]\frac{4.3\times 1}{0.31\times 10^{-3}}(660-470)\times 10^{-9}=2.6 \times 10^{-3} m=2.64 mm[/tex]
Hence, the distance between the first order bright fringes on the screen for two light sources=2.64mm
