In a double-slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \, \mathring{A})$ is $0.20^o$. If the fringe width increases by $10\%$, what is the change in the wavelength?

  • A
    Increases by $589 \, \mathring{A}$.
  • B
    Decreases by $589 \, \mathring{A}$.
  • C
    Increases by $6479 \, \mathring{A}$.
  • D
    Becomes zero.

In Young's double slit experiment shown in the figure,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are coherent sources and $S$ is the screen having a hole at a point $1.0 \, mm$ away from the central line. White light ($400 \, nm$ to $700 \, nm$) is sent through the slits. Which wavelength passing through the hole has strong intensity (in $, nm$)? (Given: $d = 0.5 \, mm$,$D = 50 \, cm$)

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.

The figure shows a schematic diagram of Young's Double Slit Experiment. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ if the source slit $S$ is moved closer to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$,i.e.,the distance $\ell$ decreases.
