The graph shows the variation of fringe width $(X)$ versus the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits $(D)$ in Young's double-slit experiment (keeping other parameters constant,where $d$ is the distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as:

  • A
    slope $\times d^2$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{\text{slope}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{slope}}{d}$
  • D
    slope $\times d$

Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one metre away. What is the fringe separation (in $mm$) when blue-green light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used?

In a double slit experiment with monochromatic light,fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the plane of slits. If the screen is moved by $5 \times 10^{-2} \,m$ towards the slits,the change in fringe width is $3 \times 10^{-3} \,cm$. If the distance between the slits is $1 \,mm$,then the wavelength of the light will be . . . . . . $nm$.

In Young's double slit arrangement, slits are separated by a gap of $0.5 \, mm$, and the screen is placed at a distance of $0.5 \, m$ from them. The distance between the first and the third bright fringe formed when the slits are illuminated by a monochromatic light of $5890 \, \text{Å}$ is

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 Young's double-slit experiment,the fringes are displaced by a distance $x$ when a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of one of the beams. When this plate is replaced by another plate of the same thickness,the shift of fringes is $(3/2)x$. The refractive index of the second plate is
