In the given figure,light is incident at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to a plane containing two slits of separation $d$. Select the expression that correctly describes the positions of the interference maxima in terms of the incoming angle $\theta$ and outgoing angle $\phi$.

  • A
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = \left( m + \frac{1}{2} \right) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • B
    $\sin \theta = m\lambda$
  • C
    $\sin \phi - \sin \theta = (m + 1) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • D
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = m \frac{\lambda}{d}$

In Young's double slit experiment,a glass plate is placed before one slit which absorbs half the intensity of light. Under this case:

On replacing a thin film of mica of thickness $12 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ in the path of one of the interfering beams in Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light,the fringe pattern shifts through a distance equal to the width of bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$,the refractive index of mica is:

To make the central fringe appear at the centre $O$ of the screen,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in front of one of the slits. Choose the correct statement.

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the central maximum shifts by a distance equal to $n$ fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is $\lambda$,then $t$ will be:

In the figure shown,if a parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits at an angle such that the path difference at point $O$ is $\Delta x = d \sin \theta = d \cdot (\frac{2d/3}{d}) = \frac{2d}{3}$,and if point $O$ is a maxima for monochromatic light,then which of the following cannot be the wavelength of the incident light?
