In a Young's double-slit experiment,the fringe pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance $D$. The slits are separated by $d$ and are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$. Find the distance from the central point where the intensity falls to half the maximum intensity.

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda D}{4d}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda D}{2d}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda D}{d}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

If a torch is used in place of monochromatic light in Young's experiment,what will happen?

Assertion: In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits are at a distance $d$ apart. An interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$ from the slits. At a point on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits,a dark fringe is observed. Then,the wavelength of the wave is proportional to the square of the distance between the two slits.
Reason: For a dark fringe,the intensity is zero.

In Young's double slit interference experiment,the slit separation is made $3$ fold. The fringe width becomes

In a double slit interference experiment,the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement,if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value,then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are $2 \,mm$ apart and are illuminated with a mixture of two wavelengths ${\lambda _1} = 750 \,nm$ and ${\lambda _2} = 900 \,nm$. The minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a screen $2 \,m$ from the slits where a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincides with a bright fringe from the other is.....$mm$
