In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from slit $A$,then:

  • A
    The fringes will disappear.
  • B
    The fringe width will increase.
  • C
    The fringe width will decrease.
  • D
    There will be no change in fringe width.

In the Young's double slit experiment,if the phase difference between the two waves interfering at a point is $\phi$,the intensity at that point can be expressed by the expression:

The path difference between two identical light waves at a point $Q$ on the screen is $3 \mu m$. If the wavelength of the waves is $5000 \text{ Å}$,then at point $Q$ there is:

The ratio of intensities at two points $P$ and $Q$ on the screen in a Young's double-slit experiment,where the phase differences between two waves of the same amplitude are $\pi / 3$ and $\pi / 2$ respectively,is:

$A$ source simultaneously emitting light at two wavelengths $400 \,nm$ and $800 \,nm$ is used in the Young's double slit experiment. If the intensity of light at the slit for each wavelength is $I_{0}$,then the maximum intensity that can be observed at any point on the screen is
