In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $4 : 1$
  • D
    $1 : 1$

In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is $0.35^{\circ}$ on a screen placed at $2\,m$ away for a particular wavelength of $450\,nm$. The angular width of the fringe,when the whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index $7/5$,is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ..............

In $YDSE$ experiment,the $4^{\text{th}}$ dark band is formed opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light used is ($d=$ distance between the slits,$D=$ distance between source and the screen)

In Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width is $1 \times 10^{-4} \ m$. If the distance between the slit and screen is doubled,the distance between the two slits is reduced to half,and the wavelength is changed from $6.4 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ to $4.0 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,what will be the value of the new fringe width?

In Young's double slit experiment,the distance between slits and the screen is $1.0\,m$ and monochromatic light of $600\,nm$ is being used. $A$ person standing near the slits is looking at the fringe pattern. When the separation between the slits is varied,the interference pattern disappears for a particular distance $d_0$ between the slits. If the angular resolution of the eye is $\frac{1}{60}^o,$ the value of $d_0$ is close to......$mm$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,sodium light of wavelength $5890 \ \mathring A$ is used,and the angular width of the fringe is found to be $0.20^\circ$. If the angular width is to be increased by $10\%$,what is the required change in the wavelength?
