Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 29 January, Shift 1

In a Young's double slit experiment, two slits A1A_1 and A2A_2, separated by aa, are illuminated with light of wavelength 800nm800 \, \text{nm}. The point PP on the screen is placed so that the line joining A1PA_1P is perpendicular to A1A2A_1A_2. The distance of the screen from the slits is D=5cmD = 5 \, \text{cm}. If the first minimum is detected at PP, the value of the slit separation aa will be:

  • A

    0.4mm0.4 \, \text{mm}

  • B

    0.5mm0.5 \, \text{mm}

  • C

    0.2mm0.2 \, \text{mm}

  • D

    0.1mm0.1 \, \text{mm}
