Consider a two slit interference arrangements (figure) such that the distance of the screen from the slits is. half the distance between the slits. Obtain the value of D in terms of X such that the first minima on the screen falls at a distance D from the centre O.

This is a Short Answer Type Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Explanation- T2P= T2O+OP= D+x
T1P= T1O-OP= D-x
S1P =
S2P=
The minima will occur when S2P- S1P= (2n-1)
- =
[D2+4D2]1/2-[D2+0]1/2=
[5D2]1/2- [D2]1/2=
D-D=
we get D= 0.404

The angle between the plane of vibration and plane of polarization is 90°.
At lower end
Tension, T? = 2g = 20 N (due to the 2 kg block)
Velocity, v? = √ (T? /μ) = √ (20/μ)
Wavelength, λ? = 6 cm
At upper end
Tension, T? = (2 kg + 6 kg)g = 8g = 80 N (due to the block and the rope)
Velocity, v? = √ (T? /μ) = √ (80/μ) = √4 * √ (20/μ) = 2v?
Since frequency (f) remains the same:
f = v?
β = λD / (d? + a? sinωt)
β? - β? = λD/ (d? - a? ) - λD/ (d? + a? )
= λD [ (d? + a? ) - (d? - a? ) / (d? ² - a? ²) ]
= 2λDa? / (d? ² - a? ²)
3d = 0.6mm
D = 80cm
= 800mm
Path difference is given by
BP – Andhra Pradesh = Dx
[for Dark fringe at P]
n = 0, for first dark fringe
first dark fringe is observed on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits]
