Eg. In a double-slit experiment, green light (5303 Å) falls on a double slit having a separation of
19.44 µm and a width of 4.05 µm. The number of bright fringes between the first and the second
diffraction minima is :- [JEE Main 2019]

Ans. (2)
Sol.

A 1st Diff. Minima

B 2nd Diff. Minima

For Diffraction : b sin = n (dark fringe)


1. Y1
First Minima = sin = 
b D
D
Y1 =  0.246
b
2D
For 2nd Minima = Y2 =  0.493 D
b
For Interference:
x = n will be bright fringe
Path Difference
At point A
 dY  d(0.246 D )
x =  1    4.8
 D  D

At point B
dY2 d(0.4938 D)
Path Difference =   9.6
D D
Thus when Path Difference  5, 6, 7, 8, 9there will be bright fringe.
Thus answer is 5
