In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. Thin films of thicknesses $t_A$ and $t_B$ and refractive indices $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ are placed in front of slits $A$ and $B$ respectively. If $\mu_A t_A = \mu_B t_B$,the central maximum will:

  • A
    not shift
  • B
    shift towards $A$
  • C
    shift towards $B$
  • D
    shift towards $A$ if $t_B > t_A$; shift towards $B$ if $t_B < t_A$

$A$ flake of glass (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) is placed over one of the openings of a double slit apparatus. The interference pattern displaces itself through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. If the wavelength of the light used is $\lambda = 600 \, nm$,then the thickness of the flake is ........ $nm$.

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.

When one of the slits of Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $4.8 \, mm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. What should be the thickness of the sheet if the central fringe has to shift to the position occupied by the $20^{th}$ bright fringe?

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Find the distance $OP$.
