  • A
    Reducing the separation between the slits
  • B
    Using blue light instead of green light
  • C

In a Young's double-slit experiment,$92$ fringes are observed when sodium light $(\lambda = 5898 \, \mathring A)$ is used. If light of wavelength $\lambda = 5461 \, \mathring A$ is used instead,how many fringes will be observed?

In $\text{YDSE}$,$S_1$ and $S_2$ have the same intensity $I_0$. Column-$I$ shows the distance $x$ of a point $P$ from the central point $O$ on the screen,and Column-$II$ shows the intensity at $P$. Match Column-$I$ with Column-$II$. (Wavelength is $\lambda$)
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(A) x = \frac{D \lambda}{d}$ $(P) I_0$
$(B) x = \frac{D \lambda}{4d}$ $(Q) 2 I_0$
$(C) x = \frac{D \lambda}{3d}$ $(R) 3 I_0$
$(D) x = \frac{D \lambda}{6d}$ $(S) 4 I_0$

In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is $d$ and the wavelength of the light is $\lambda$. The intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is four times the intensity of light falling on slit $2$. Choose the correct choice(s).
$(A)$ If $d = \lambda$, the screen will contain only one maximum
$(B)$ If $\lambda < d < 2\lambda$, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen
$(C)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit $2$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
$(D)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $2$ is increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit $1$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase

In a Young's double slit experiment with slit separation $0.1\, mm$,one observes a bright fringe at angle $\frac{1}{40}\, rad$ by using light of wavelength $\lambda_1$. When the light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ is used,a bright fringe is seen at the same angle in the same setup. Given that $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are in the visible range ($380\, nm$ to $740\, nm$),their values are:
