In a Young's double-slit experiment,two slits act as coherent sources of waves of equal wavelength $\lambda$ and amplitude $A$. In another experiment,the two slits are arranged to act as incoherent sources of waves of the same amplitude and wavelength. If the intensity at the central point of the screen in the first case is $I_1$ and in the second case is $I_2$,then the ratio $I_1/I_2$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $0.5$

The path difference between two interfering light waves meeting at a point on the screen is $\left(\frac{87}{2}\right) \lambda$. The band obtained at that point is

In a Young's double slit experiment,$15$ fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. Then the value of $\lambda$ is (in $nm$):

In a $Young's$ double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. If the third dark fringe is formed at point $P$ on the screen,then the path difference $(S_1P - S_2P)$ is ......... $\mu m$.

In the figure, Young's double-slit experiment is shown. $Q$ is the position of the first bright fringe on the right side of $O$. $P$ is the $11^{th}$ fringe on the other side, as measured from $Q$. If the wavelength of the light used is $6000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$, then $S_1B$ will be equal to:
