In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^o$ for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \ \mathring{A})$. In order to increase the angular width of the fringes by $10\%$,the necessary change in the wavelength is:

  • A
    Increase of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • B
    Decrease of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • C
    Increase of $6479 \ \mathring{A}$
  • D
    Zero

The graph shows the variation of fringe width $(X)$ versus the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits $(D)$ in Young's double-slit experiment (keeping other parameters constant,where $d$ is the distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as:

In the $Young's$ double slit experiment,the intensity produced by each of the individual slits is $I_0$. The distance between the two slits is $2 \ mm$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $10 \ m$. The wavelength of light is $6000 \ \mathring{A}$. What is the intensity of light on the screen in front of one of the slits?

In Young's double-slit experiment,which of the following statements is correct?

In Young's double slit experiment,if the separation between coherent sources is halved and the distance of the screen from the coherent sources is doubled,then the fringe width becomes:

$A$ Young's double slit experiment apparatus has slits separated by $0.2 \ mm$ and a screen $60 \ cm$ away from the slits. The whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{11}{9}$ and the slits are illuminated with green light $(\lambda = 550 \ nm$ in vacuum$)$. Find the fringe width of the pattern formed on the screen. (in $mm$)
