In a Young's double slit experiment, a small detector measures an intensity of illumination of $I$ units at the centre of the fringe pattern. If one of the two (identical) slits is now covered, the measured intensity will be

  • A
    $2I$
  • B
    $I$
  • C
    $I/4$
  • D
    $I/2$

Monochromatic green light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-7} \, m$ illuminates a pair of slits $1 \, mm$ apart. The separation of bright lines (fringe width) on the interference pattern formed on a screen $2 \, m$ away is ...... $mm$.

The Young's double slit experiment is performed in succession using blue light of wavelength $4360 \, \mathring{A}$ and green light of wavelength $5460 \, \mathring{A}$. If the distance of the fourth maximum from the central maximum is $x$,then:

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths $6500 \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \mathring{A}$ is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double-slit experiment. The distance between slits is $2 \text{ mm}$ and the distance of the screen from the slits is $120 \text{ cm}$. What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide (in $\text{ cm}$)?
