Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ and $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

  • A
    $3.6 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • B
    $3.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • C
    $2.4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • D
    $2.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$

For sustained interference fringes in a double-slit experiment,the essential condition$(s)$ is/are:
$1$. Sources must be coherent.
$2$. The intensities of the two sources must be equal.
Here,the correct option$(s)$ is/are:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

In a Young's double slit experiment,the slits are separated by $0.2 \text{ mm}$ and the screen is placed $2.0 \text{ m}$ away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe is measured to be $1.5 \text{ cm}$. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

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:

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are $2 \,mm$ apart and are illuminated with a mixture of two wavelengths ${\lambda _1} = 750 \,nm$ and ${\lambda _2} = 900 \,nm$. The minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a screen $2 \,m$ from the slits where a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincides with a bright fringe from the other is.....$mm$
