Suppose that the central diffraction envelope of a double-slit diffraction pattern contains 11 bright fringes and the first diffraction minima eliminate (are coincident with) bright fringes. How many bright fringes lie between the first and second minima of the diffraction envelope?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total number of bright fringes lies between the first second minima is 5.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of double slit experiment

There are mainly two phenomena occurs in double slit experiment. The first one is interference due to the difference in two paths, and the second one is diffraction in the single slit.

For the first minima in the diffraction pattern,

asin=m1

The angular locations of the bright fringes of the double-slit interference pattern is given by,

dsin=m2 鈥︹ (1)

Here, d is the slit separation, and a is single slit width.

02

Find the number of bright fringes that lie between the first and second minima of the diffraction envelope

For the 1st minima , m1=1then rewrite the equation (1) as follows.

asin= 鈥︹ (2)

Combine equation (1) and (2).

m2=da

Given that the central diffraction envelope of a double-slit diffraction pattern contains 11 bright fringes. For this, the value ofm2will be as follows.

m2=11-12=5

This gives the number of bright fringes on one side of central diffraction maxima in central diffraction envelope. Therefore, the 1st diffraction minima occurs just before m2=6.

For the 2nd minima m1=2, then rewrite the equation (1) as follows.

asin=2 鈥.. (3)

From equations (1) and (3),

m2=2da=25=10

The 2nd diffraction minima occur just before m2=11. So, in between 1st and 2nd minima of the diffraction envelop, there are the fringes fromm2=6 tom2=10 for a total 5 bright fringes in the double slit interference pattern.

Therefore, the total number of bright fringes lies between the first second minima is 5.
