In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength $600 \; nm$,the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is $0.1^{\circ}$. What is the spacing between the two slits?

  • A
    $3.44 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • B
    $6.88 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • C
    $9.94 \times 10^{-4} \; m$
  • D
    $1.52 \times 10^{-3} \; m$

In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^{\circ}$ on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \; nm$. What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? Take the refractive index of water to be $4/3$.

Assertion : No interference pattern is detected when two coherent sources are infinitely close to each other.
Reason : The fringe width is inversely proportional to the distance between the two slits.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are placed $0.320 \, mm$ apart. Light of wavelength $\lambda = 500 \, nm$ is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular range $-30^\circ \le \theta \le 30^\circ$ is:

In a double-slit experiment,for light of which colour will the fringe width be minimum?

In Young's double-slit experiment,an interference pattern is obtained on a screen by light of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring A$,coming from coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$. At a certain point $P$ on the screen,the third dark fringe is formed. Then the path difference $S_1P - S_2P$ in microns is:
