Answer:
d = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m = 6.38 mm
Explanation:
Since, the no. of bright fringes is 34 in a centimeter, therefore, the fringe spacing must be equal to:
Fringe Spacing = Δx = 1 cm/34
Δx = 0.0294 cm = 2.94 x 10⁻⁴ m
But, the formula for fringe spacing in a double slit experiment is:
Δx = λL/d
where,
λ = wavelength of light = 605 nm = 6.05 x 10⁻⁷ m
L = Distance between screen and slits = 3.1 m
d = slit separation = ?
Therefore,
2.94 x 10⁻⁴ m = (6.05 x 10⁻⁷ m)(3.1 m)/d
d = (18.755 x 10⁻⁷ m²)/(2.94 x 10⁻⁴ m)
d = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m = 6.38 mm
