In a Young's double slit experiment,two slits are illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda = 800 \, nm$. The line joining $A_1 P$ is perpendicular to $A_1 A_2$ as shown in the figure. If the first minimum is detected at $P$,the value of slit separation '$a$' will be $......... \, mm$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $D = 5 \, cm$.

  • A
    $0.4$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $0.2$
  • D
    $0.1$

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
