If one of the slits of a standard $YDSE$ apparatus is covered by a thin parallel-sided glass slab so that it transmits only one-half of the light intensity of the other, then:

  • A
    the fringe pattern will get shifted towards the covered slit.
  • B
    the fringe width will remain unchanged.
  • C
    the bright fringes will be less bright and the dark ones will be more bright.
  • D
    All of the above

$A$ thin glass plate of thickness $t = \frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits,the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is

In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.
$(1)$ The $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe above the point $O$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions,in micrometer $(\mu m)$,is. . . . .

Calculate the wavelength of light used in an interference experiment from the following data: Fringe width $\beta = 0.03 \, cm$. The distance between the slits and the eyepiece is $D = 1 \, m$. The distance between the images of the virtual source,when a convex lens of focal length $f = 16 \, cm$ is used at a distance of $v = 80 \, cm$ from the eyepiece,is $d' = 0.8 \, cm$.

$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?

The central fringe of an interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is found to shift to the position of the fourth bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit. The thickness of the glass plate would be ...... $\mu m$.
