Two wavelengths of light $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are sent through a Young's double-slit experiment simultaneously. If the third-order bright fringe of $\lambda_1$ coincides with the fourth-order bright fringe of $\lambda_2$,then

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{4}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{3}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{5}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2} = \frac{4}{5}$

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.

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......$mm$

Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding interference fringes?

The distance between two coherent sources is $0.1 \, mm$. The fringe-width on a screen $1.2 \, m$ away from the source is $6.0 \, mm$. The wavelength of light used is ......... $\mathring{A}$.

Assertion: In Young's double slit experiment,if the wavelength of incident monochromatic light is doubled,the number of bright fringes on the screen will increase.
Reason: The maximum number of bright fringes on the screen is directly proportional to the wavelength of light used.
