a) In Young's Double Slit experiment, show that:

straight beta space equals space λD over straight d, where the terms have their usual meaning.
b) A ray of ordinary light is travelling in air. It is incident on air-glass pair at a polarising angle of 56o. Find the angle of refraction in glass.


Let,

S1 and S2 be two slits,
d is the distance between the slits, and
D be the distance between the slit and the screen.

In increment straight S subscript 1 straight N subscript 1 straight P thin space and space increment straight S subscript 2 straight N subscript 2 straight P,
S1P2 = S1N12+N1P2

space space space space space space straight S subscript 1 straight P squared equals straight D squared plus open parentheses straight x minus straight d over 2 close parentheses squared space space space... space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis

space space space space space space space straight S subscript 2 straight P squared equals straight S subscript 2 straight N subscript 2 squared plus space straight N subscript 2 straight P subscript 2 squared

space space space space space space space straight S subscript 2 straight P squared equals straight D squared plus open parentheses straight x plus fraction numerator straight d space over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses squared space space... space left parenthesis ii right parenthesis

From equation (i) and (ii), we have

S2P2 - S1P2open parentheses x plus straight d over 2 close parentheses squared minus open parentheses x minus d over 2 close parentheses squared
open parentheses straight S subscript 2 straight P space minus space straight S subscript 1 straight P close parentheses left parenthesis S subscript 2 P plus S subscript 1 P right parenthesis equals x squared plus open parentheses d over 2 close parentheses squared plus 2 x. d over 2 minus x squared minus open parentheses d over 2 close parentheses squared plus 2. x. d over 2
straight S subscript 2 straight P space minus space straight S subscript 1 straight P space equals space fraction numerator 2 xd over denominator straight S subscript 2 straight P plus straight S subscript 1 straight P end fraction

But, S2almost equal to straight D almost equal to space straight S subscript 1 straight P
Path difference (S2P - S1P) = fraction numerator 2 xd over denominator 2 straight D end fraction equals fraction numerator x d over denominator D end fraction
For bright fringe,
Path difference = nstraight lambda space equals space xd over straight D
For space straight n to the power of th space fringe comma
straight x subscript straight n space equals space nλD over straight d space
For space left parenthesis straight n minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of th space fringe comma
straight x subscript straight n minus 1 end subscript space equals space fraction numerator left parenthesis straight n minus 1 right parenthesis space λD over denominator straight d end fraction

Fringe width = xn - xn-1

That is,

straight beta space equals space nλD over straight d minus nλD over straight d plus λD over straight d
straight beta space equals λD over straight d

b) Polarising angle, iP = 56o
Angle of refraction, r = ?

We know that,

ip + r = 90o

r = 90 - ip
  = 90o - 56o
  = 34o
