Comprehension

In a Young’s double slit experiment, each of the two slits A and B, as shown in the figure, are oscillating about their fixed center and with a mean separation of 0.8 mm. The distance between the slits at time t is given by 𝑑 = (0.8 + 0.04 sin πœ”π‘‘) mm, where πœ” = 0.08 rad s βˆ’1 . The distance of the screen from the slits is 1 m and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is 6000 β„«. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time, while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point O.

Correct Answer: 601.5

Solution and Explanation

Fringe Width Difference Calculation 

Step 1: Formula for Fringe Width Difference

The fringe width difference \( \Delta y \) is calculated using the given parameters: \[ \Delta y = \frac{8 \lambda D}{(0.8 - 0.04) \times 10^{-3}} - \frac{8 \lambda D}{(0.8 + 0.04) \times 10^{-3}} \] where:

  • \( \lambda \): The wavelength of the light used
  • \( D \): The distance between the slits and the screen
  • The denominator represents the small variation in slit separation.

Step 2: Substituting Values and Solving

\[ \Delta y = 601.5 \, \mu \text{m} \]

Final Answer:

The fringe width difference due to the variation in slit separation is \( 601.5 \, \mu \text{m} \).

Correct Answer: 24

Solution and Explanation

Amplitude and Maximum Speed of Fringe Oscillation 

Step 1: Amplitude of Oscillation

The amplitude of oscillation of the fringe is calculated as: \[ A = \frac{\Delta y}{2} = \frac{601.50 \, \mu \text{m}}{2} \]

Step 2: Maximum Speed of the Oscillation

The maximum speed of the oscillation is given by: \[ v_{\text{max}} = A \omega \] where \( \omega \) is the angular frequency.

Substitute the values:

\[ v_{\text{max}} = 300.75 \, \mu \text{m} \times 0.08 = 24.06 \, \mu \text{m/s} \]

Final Answer:

The maximum speed of the fringe oscillation is \( v_{\text{max}} = 24 \, \mu \text{m/s} \).
