उत्तर

Data: d = 100λ, D = 50.0 cm

The conditions for maximum in Young's experiment is given by:

d sin (θ) = n λ,  n = 0, 1, 2...

the angle between the central maximum and it's adjacent can be determined by setting m equals to 1, so:

d sin (θ) = λ

θ = sin-1 `(λ/"d")`

θ = sin-1 `(λ/(100 λ))`

θ = sin-1 `(1/100)`

θ = 0.01 rad

The distance between the central axis and the first maximum is given by:

D sin θ = D`(lambda/"d")`

= (50.0 cm)`(lambda/(100 lambda))`

= 0.50 cm
