If a graph is drawn between the separation of slits and bandwidth in Young's double slit experiment, the graph will be (A) a straight line having positive slope. (B) a straight line having negative slope. (C) a rectangular hyperbola. (D) a parabola.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The graph between the separation of slits (d) and bandwidth (β) in Young's double slit experiment will be a rectangular hyperbola (option C) as the relationship is given by \(d * β = λL\), where λL is a constant.

Step by step solution

01

Recall the formula for fringe width in Young's double slit experiment

The fringe width (bandwidth), denoted by 'β', of the interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment is given by the formula: \[β = \frac{λL}{d}\] where: - λ is the wavelength of the light used - L is the distance between the screen and the double slit - d is the separation between the slits
02

Rearrange the formula to express fringe width in terms of slit separation

Rearranging the formula from the previous step, we get: \[d = \frac{λL}{β}\] This equation shows the relationship between the separation of slits (d) and bandwidth/ fringe width (β).
03

Determine the type of graph

Comparing the equation we derived to standard equations of graphs, it's evident that it resembles the equation of a rectangular hyperbola: \[xy = k\] In our case, we have \(d * β = λL\), where λL is a constant (for a given wavelength and setup). So, the graph between the separation of slits (d) and bandwidth (β) will be a rectangular hyperbola. Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
