In Young's double-slit experiment,if one slit is made twice as wide as the other instead of having equal widths,then in the interference pattern:

  • A
    The intensity of both bright and dark fringes will increase.
  • B
    The intensity of bright fringes will increase and the intensity of dark fringes will become zero.
  • C
    The intensity of bright fringes will decrease and the intensity of dark fringes will increase.
  • D
    The intensity of bright fringes will decrease and the intensity of dark fringes will become non-zero.

In Young's double-slit experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu$ and thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of the light ray from the first source $S_1$. By what distance will the fringe pattern be shifted?

Consider the figure (not drawn to scale) in which a converging lens of radius $R = 1 \ cm$ and focal length $f = 20 \ cm$ is cut in the middle. The upper part is lifted up by $d = 1 \ mm$ and the lower part is pulled down by the same distance. The gap between them is blocked by an opaque sheet. $A$ point light source with wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ is placed on the optical axis at a distance of $2f$ from the split lens. $A$ large screen is placed at $L = 1 \ m$ from the right focus of the lens. Find the approximate number of interference fringes on the screen.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. Thin films of thicknesses $t_A$ and $t_B$ and refractive indices $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ are placed in front of slits $A$ and $B$ respectively. If $\mu_A t_A = \mu_B t_B$,the central maximum will:

$6300 \mathring A$ wavelength light shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance of $1.0 \ mm$ and illuminates a screen at a distance of $1.5 \ m$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index $1.8$ and the other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $\mu$,the central maxima shifts by $6^o$. Both plates have the same thickness of $0.5 \ mm$. The value of the refractive index $\mu$ of the plate is:

In a $YDSE$,light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is used,which emerges in phase from two slits separated by a distance $d = 3 \times 10^{-7} \; m$. $A$ transparent sheet of thickness $t = 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \; m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.17$ is placed over one of the slits. What is the new angular position of the central maxima of the interference pattern,and what is its linear position $y$ from the center of the screen?
