26. In Young's double slit experiment, we observe the 10th maximum for l = 1000o A. What will be visible if the source of light is replaced by light of wavelength 5000o A
 
Suggested solution:
 
If y10 be the distance of the 10th bright fringe from the central fringe, then,
 
 
Let nth bright fringe be formed at the same place when the new wavelength is 5000 A
 
 
But yn = y10 (given)
 
 
 
On simplification, n=14
 
Thus, 14th order bright fringe will be visible at the same place where 10th order bright fringe was originally observed.
