Wave nature of light with Young’s double-slit experiment

Procedure for the experiment is as follows:

To study the Young's double experiment.

  • step1: Read the theory

  • step2: Set some value for D (distance from slits to the screen).

  • step3: set value for d(distance between the slits).

  • step4: set value for 𝛽(Fringe width)

  • Study the graph in order to understand fringe width which is given by -

  • destructive


  • Perform the following experiment

    Experiment:

    Aim:- Perform the following experiment to verfiy the wavelength(λt) of the given monochromatic source and To find out the percentage error .

    1. Set some value for D (distance from slits to the screen).

    2. set value of d (distance between the slits ).

    3. Calcualte the value of fringe width (𝛽).

    4. Repeat the experiemnt 5-6 times and each time calculate the corrosponding value of λc.

    5. Obtain the calculated value λc by calculating mean.

    6. Verify the values of calculated λc and given λt and thereby calculate percentage error.

    7. Where :- λc is calculated value of lambda.
      λt is theoritical value of lambda.

    8. S.no D(distance from slits to screen) d (distance between slits) 𝛽(fringe width) λc (wavelength)
