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

  • A
    The brightness of fringes decreases
  • B
    The fringe width decreases
  • C
    No fringes will be observed
  • D
    The bright fringes become fainter and the dark fringes have finite light intensity

In the setup shown in the figure,the two slits,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are not equidistant from the slit $S$. The central fringe at $O$ is then

$A$ monochromatic light source $S$ of wavelength $440 \,nm$ is placed slightly above a plane mirror $M$ as shown below. The image of $S$ in $M$ can be used as a virtual source to produce interference fringes on the screen. The distance of source $S$ from $O$ is $20.0 \,cm$ and the distance of the screen from $O$ is $100.0 \,cm$ (figure is not to scale). If the angle $\theta = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \,radians$, then the width of the interference fringes observed on the screen is ............... $mm$.

The fringe widths are found to be $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ respectively if a Young's double slit experiment is performed in media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ respectively. The correct statement is:

$6300 \mathring A$ wavelength light shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance of $1.0 \ mm$ and illuminates a screen at a distance of $1.5 \ m$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index $1.8$ and the other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $\mu$,the central maxima shifts by $6^o$. Both plates have the same thickness of $0.5 \ mm$. The value of the refractive index $\mu$ of the plate is:

$A$ thin transparent plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in the path of one of the two interfering waves. The path difference between these waves is changed by half the wavelength of light $\lambda$. The thickness of the plate is
