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:

  • A
    $\omega_1 > \omega_2$ if $n_1 > n_2$
  • B
    $\omega_1 > \omega_2$ if $n_1 < n_2$
  • C
    $\omega_1 = \omega_2$ if $n_1 < n_2$
  • D
    $\frac{\omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{n_1}{n_2}$

In Young's double-slit experiment,if one slit is made twice as wide as the other instead of having equal widths,then in the interference pattern:

Monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen. When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index $= 1.5$), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the $4^{th}$ bright fringe. The thickness of the glass plate is ..................... $\mu m$.

The figure shows a double-slit experiment. Each slit has a width $W$. $A$ thin glass slab of thickness $\delta$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The intensity at the central point $C$ is measured as a function of the thickness $\delta$. At what thickness $\delta$ will the intensity at $C$ be minimum?

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Find the distance $OP$.

$A$ plate of refractive index $1.6$ is introduced in the path of light from one of the slits in Young's double slit experiment,then:
