In a Young's experiment,when $n$ coherent sources of equal intensity $I_0$ are used,the resultant intensity is $I_1$. When $n$ incoherent sources of equal intensity $I_0$ are used,the resultant intensity is $I_2$. What are the values of $I_1$ and $I_2$?

  • A
    $n^2 I_0, n I_0$
  • B
    $n I_0, n^2 I_0$
  • C
    $n I_0, I_0$
  • D
    $n^2 I_0, (n-1) I_0$

Two slits are separated by $0.3\, mm$. $A$ beam of $500\, nm$ light strikes the slits producing an interference pattern. Find the number of maxima observed in the angular range $-30^{\circ} < \theta < 30^{\circ}$.

$A$ student is asked to measure the wavelength of monochromatic light. He sets up the apparatus as shown in the figure. $S_1, S_2, S_3$ are narrow parallel slits,$L$ is a sodium lamp,and $M$ is a microscope eyepiece. The student fails to observe interference fringes. Your first advice to him will be:

In an interference pattern,the $(n + 4)^{th}$ order blue bright fringe and the $n^{th}$ order red bright fringe coincide at a point. If the wavelengths of red and blue light are $7800 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \, \mathring{A}$ respectively,then the value of $n$ is . . . . . .

For Young's double slit experiment,two statements are given below :
Statement $I:$ If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits,the angular separation of the fringes remains constant.
Statement $II:$ If the monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of larger wavelength,the angular separation of the fringes decreases.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below :
