In the Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the slits varies in time as $\mathrm{d}(\mathrm{t})=\mathrm{d}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{0} \sin \omega \mathrm{t} ;$ where $\mathrm{d}_{0}, \omega$ and $\mathrm{a}_{0}$ are constants. The difference between the largest fringe width and the smallest fringe width obtained over time is given as :
Correct Option: , 2
Fringe Width, $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$
$\beta_{\max } \Rightarrow d_{\min }$ and $\beta_{\min } \Rightarrow d_{\max }$
$\mathrm{d}=\mathrm{d}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{0} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$
$\mathrm{d}_{\max }=\mathrm{d}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{0}$ and $\mathrm{d}_{\min }=\mathrm{d}_{0}-\mathrm{a}_{0}$
$\therefore \beta_{\min }=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{0}}$ and $\therefore \beta_{\max }=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}_{0}-\mathrm{a}_{0}}$
$\beta_{\max }-\beta_{\min }=\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}_{0}-\mathrm{a}_{0}}-\frac{\lambda \mathrm{D}}{\mathrm{d}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{0}}=\frac{2 \lambda \mathrm{Da}_{0}}{\mathrm{~d}_{0}^{2}-\mathrm{a}_{0}^{2}}$
