Four monochromatic and coherent sources of light,emitting waves in phase of wavelength $\lambda$,are placed at the points $x = 0, d, 2d$,and $3d$ on the $x$-axis. Then:

  • A
    points having $|x| >> d$ appear dark if $d = \lambda /4$
  • B
    points having $|x| >> d$ appear dark if $d = \lambda /8$
  • C
    points having $|x| >> d$ appear maximum bright if $d = \lambda /4$
  • D
    points having $|x| >> d$ appear maximum bright if $d = \lambda /8$

$A$ light source,which emits two wavelengths $\lambda_1=400 \ nm$ and $\lambda_2=600 \ nm$,is used in a Young's double slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are $\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ and the number of fringes for them within a distance $y$ on one side of the central maximum are $m_1$ and $m_2$,respectively,then
$(A)$ $\beta_2 > \beta_1$
$(B)$ $m_1 > m_2$
$(C)$ From the central maximum,$3^{\text{rd}}$ maximum of $\lambda_2$ overlaps with $5^{\text{th}}$ minimum of $\lambda_1$
$(D)$ The angular separation of fringes for $\lambda_1$ is greater than $\lambda_2$

In Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength $4000 \, Å$ is used to produce bright fringes of width $0.6 \, mm$ at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the slits. If the whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.5$, what will be the new fringe width in $mm$?

In a $YDSE$,if the slits are of unequal width:

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
