Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.

The maximum intensity in Young's double slit experiment is $I_0$. The distance between the slits is $d = 5\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen at a distance $D = 10d$?

In Young's double-slit experiment,the value of $\lambda = 500\, nm$. The value of $d = 1\, mm$ and $D = 1\, m$. Then the minimum distance from the central maximum for which the intensity is half the maximum intensity will be:

In a double slit experiment,at a certain point on the screen,the path difference between the two interfering waves is $\frac{1}{8}$ of a wavelength. The ratio of the intensity of light at that point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is:

In a Young's double slit experiment,a laser light of $560\,nm$ produces an interference pattern with consecutive bright fringes' separation of $7.2\,mm$. Now another light is used to produce an interference pattern with consecutive bright fringes' separation of $8.1\,mm$. The wavelength of the second light is $......nm$.

In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength $600 \; nm$,the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is $0.1^{\circ}$. What is the spacing between the two slits?
