Answer:
d = 0.124 mm
Explanation:
It is given that,
Wavelength of light is 525 nm
It makes second maximum at an angle of 0.482 degrees
We need to find the separation of the slits.
For 2nd maximum, the equation for double slip experiment is given by :
[tex]d\sin\theta=n\lambda[/tex]
d = separation of the slits
[tex]d=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}\\\\d=\dfrac{2\times 525\times 10^{-9}}{\sin(0.482)}\\\\d=0.124\ mm[/tex]
So, the separation of the slits is 0.124 mm.
