. in young’s experimental set-up, the slit separation is 2 mm and the distance between the slits and the observation screen is 100 cm. calculate the path difference between the waves arriving at a point 5 cm away from the point where the line dividing the slits touches the screen.

Explanation:

Given that: d=2mm=2×10-3m

l=600nm

=6×10-7m

Imax=0.20

W

m2

,D

=2m

for the point y=0.5cm

We know path difference =x=

yd

D

=0.5×10I-2×2×

10-3

2

=5×10-5m

So the corresponding phase difference is

ϕ=

2πx

λ

=

2π×5×10-6

6×10-7

=

50π

3

=

3×16π+2π

→ϕ=

3

so the amplitude of the resulting wave at the point y=0.5 cm is

A=

r2+r2+2r2

cos(2π)

3

0

r2+r2-r2

=r

Since

I

Imax

-

A2

2r2

[since maximum amplitude -2r]

I

0.2

=

A2

4r2

=

r2

4r2

→I=

.2

=0.05

W

m2
