3              In a Young’s slit experiment a coherent source of light of wavelength 600 nm is used. The slits are 0.4mm apart and the screen is 1.2m from the sources. The fringe separation is

4.            In the pattern formed by a Young’s slit experiment the distance from the central fringe to the 10th bright fringe is 3.44cm. If the screen is 2m form the sources and λ = 0.589 µm the slit separation is
A             3.4 mm
B             2.9 mm
C             0.34 mm
D             0.74mm                                                                                                (4 marks)
