  • A
    With first-order violet fringes being closer to the central white fringe.
  • B
    First-order red fringes being closer to the central white fringe.
  • C

What is the effect on the interference fringes in a Young's double-slit experiment due to each of the following operations:
$(a)$ the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits;
$(b)$ the (monochromatic) source is replaced by another (monochromatic) source of shorter wavelength;
$(c)$ the separation between the two slits is increased;
$(d)$ the source slit is moved closer to the double-slit plane;
$(e)$ the width of the source slit is increased;
$(f)$ the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?
(In each operation,take all parameters,other than the one specified,to remain unchanged.)

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 $:$

In Young's double slit experiment,$62$ fringes are seen in the visible region for sodium light of wavelength $5893 \ \mathring{A}$. If violet light of wavelength $4358 \ \mathring{A}$ is used in place of sodium light,then the number of fringes seen will be:

In $YDSE$,$a=2 \, mm$,$D=2 \, m$,and $\lambda=500 \, nm$. Find the distance of the point on the screen from the central maxima where the intensity becomes $50 \%$ of the central maxima (in $\mu m$).

In Young's double slit experiment,when two light waves form the third minimum,they have:
