In a Young's double-slit experiment,interference fringes are obtained on a screen placed at a certain distance from the slits using monochromatic light. If the screen is moved towards the slits by $5 \times 10^{-2} \, m$,the fringe width changes by $3 \times 10^{-5} \, m$. If the distance between the slits is $10^{-3} \, m$,find the wavelength of the light.

    $6 \times 10^{-5} \, m$
  • B

  • C
    $6 \times 10^3 \, m$
  • D
    $6 \times 10^{-7} \, m$

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:

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from one of the slits,what happens to the interference pattern?

In Young's double slit experiment, carried out with light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000\;\mathring{A}$, the distance between the slits is $d = 0.2\;mm$ and the screen is at $D = 200\;cm$ from the slits. The central maximum is at $x = 0$. The third maximum (taking the central maximum as the zeroth maximum) will be at $x$ equal to......$cm$.
