In the Young's double slit experiment,the distance between the slits varies in time as $d(t) = d_{0} + a_{0} \sin \omega t$; where $d_{0}$,$\omega$,and $a_{0}$ are constants. The difference between the largest fringe width and the smallest fringe width obtained over time is given as:

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda D}{d_{0}+a_{0}}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \lambda D a_{0}}{d_{0}^{2}-a_{0}^{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{2 \lambda D d_{0}}{d_{0}^{2}-a_{0}^{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda D}{d_{0}^{2}} a_{0}$

Assertion: $A$ white source of light during interference forms only white and black fringes.
Reason: Width of fringe is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light used.

In Young's double-slit experiment,the distance between the two slits is $1 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1 \, m$. If the wavelength of the light used is $500 \, nm$,then the distance of the third minimum from the central maximum is ... $mm$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,sources of equal intensities are used. The distance between the slits is $d$ and the wavelength of light used is $\lambda$ (where $\lambda \ll d$). Find the angular separation of the nearest points on either side of the central maximum where the intensity becomes half of the maximum value.

$A$ beam of light consisting of wavelengths $650 \ nm$ and $550 \ nm$ illuminates the Young's double slits with separation of $2 \ mm$ such that the interference fringes are formed on a screen,placed at a distance of $1.2 \ m$ from the slits. The least distance of a point from the central maximum,where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide,is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-5} \ m$.

Electrons accelerated from rest by an electrostatic potential are collimated and sent through a Young's double slit experiment. The fringe width is $\omega$. If the accelerating potential is doubled,then the width is now close to ............. $\omega$.
