The correct option is B
6 mm Given: d = 0.1 mm = 10 − 4 m λ = 600 nm = 6 × 10 − 7 m D = 1 m
Now, the separation between the successive bright fringes is,
β = λ D d = 6 × 10 − 7 × 1 10 − 4 = 6 mm Hence, ( B )
is the correct answer.

By the end of this section, you will be able to:
Describe the combined effect of interference and diffraction with two slits, each with finite width
Determine the relative intensities of interference fringes within a diffraction pattern
Identify missing orders, if any
When we studied interference in Young’s double-slit experiment, we ignored the diffraction effect in each slit. We assumed that the slits were so narrow that on the screen you saw only the interference of light from just two point sources. If the slit is smaller than the wavelength, then Figure 4.10(a) shows that there is just a spreading of light and no peaks or troughs on the screen. Therefore, it was reasonable to leave out the diffraction effect in that chapter. However, if you make the slit wider, Figure 4.10(b) and (c) show that you cannot ignore diffraction. In this section, we study the complications to the double-slit experiment that arise when you also need to take into account the diffraction effect of each slit.
To calculate the diffraction pattern for two (or any number of) slits, we need to generalize the method we just used for a single slit. That is, across each slit, we place a uniform distribution of point sources that radiate Huygens wavelets, and then we sum the wavelets from all the slits. This gives the intensity at any point on the screen. Although the details of that calculation can be complicated, the final result is quite simple:
TWO-SLIT DIFFRACTION PATTERN
The diffraction pattern of two slits of width a that are separated by a distance d is the interference pattern of two point sources separated by d multiplied by the diffraction pattern of a slit of width a.
In other words, the locations of the interference fringes are given by the equation
dsinθ=mλ dsinθ=mλ
, the same as when we considered the slits to be point sources, but the intensities of the fringes are now reduced by diffraction effects, according to Equation 4.4. [Note that in the chapter on interference, we wrote
dsinθ=mλ dsinθ=mλ
and used the integer m to refer to interference fringes. Equation 4.1 also uses m, but this time to refer to diffraction minima. If both equations are used simultaneously, it is good practice to use a different variable (such as n) for one of these integers in order to keep them distinct.]
Interference and diffraction effects operate simultaneously and generally produce minima at different angles. This gives rise to a complicated pattern on the screen, in which some of the maxima of interference from the two slits are missing if the maximum of the interference is in the same direction as the minimum of the diffraction. We refer to such a missing peak as a missing order. One example of a diffraction pattern on the screen is shown in Figure 4.11. The solid line with multiple peaks of various heights is the intensity observed on the screen. It is a product of the interference pattern of waves from separate slits and the diffraction of waves from within one slit.
Figure 4.11 Diffraction from a double slit. The purple line with peaks of the same height are from the interference of the waves from two slits; the blue line with one big hump in the middle is the diffraction of waves from within one slit; and the thick red line is the product of the two, which is the pattern observed on the screen. The plot shows the expected result for a slit width
a=2λ a=2λ and slit separation d=6λ d=6λ . The maximum of m=±3 m=±3
order for the interference is missing because the minimum of the diffraction occurs in the same direction.
EXAMPLE 4.3
Intensity of the Fringes
Figure 4.11 shows that the intensity of the fringe for
m=3 m=3
is zero, but what about the other fringes? Calculate the intensity for the fringe at
m=1 m=1 relative to I 0 , I0,
the intensity of the central peak.
Strategy
Determine the angle for the double-slit interference fringe, using the equation from Interference, then determine the relative intensity in that direction due to diffraction by using Equation 4.4.
Solution
From the chapter on interference, we know that the bright interference fringes occur at
dsinθ=mλ dsinθ=mλ , or sinθ= mλ d . sinθ=mλd. From Equation 4.4, I= I 0 ( sinβ β ) 2 ,whereβ= ϕ 2 = πasinθ λ .
I=I0(sinββ)2,whereβ=ϕ2=πasinθλ.
Substituting from above,
β= πasinθ λ = πa λ ⋅ mλ d = mπa d .
β=πasinθλ=πaλ·mλd=mπad.
For a=2λ a=2λ , d=6λ d=6λ , and m=1 m=1 , β= (1)π(2λ) (6λ) = π 3 . β=(1)π(2λ)(6λ)=π3.
Then, the intensity is
I= I 0 ( sinβ β ) 2 = I 0 ( sin(π/3) π/3 ) 2
