When one of the slits of Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $4.8 \, mm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. What should be the thickness of the sheet if the central fringe has to shift to the position occupied by the $20^{th}$ bright fringe?

  • A
    $3.8$
  • B
    $1.6$
  • C
    $7.6$
  • D
    $3.2$

In a double-slit experiment,green light $(5303\,\mathring{A})$ falls on a double slit having a separation of $19.44\,\mu m$ and a width of $4.05\,\mu m$. The number of bright fringes between the first and the second diffraction minima is

In $YDSE$, a thin film $(\mu=1.6)$ of thickness $0.01 \,mm$ is introduced in the path of one of the two interfering beams. The central fringe moves to a position occupied by the $10^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe earlier. The wavelength of the wave is ......... $\mathring{A}$.

In a standard $YDSE$ setup,a small transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (as shown in the figure). Given that the slab thickness $t = d/4$,where $d$ is the slit separation,and the distance from the source $A$ to the slits is not explicitly needed for the shift calculation,find the position of the central maxima on the screen relative to $O$. Assume the distance between the slits and the screen is $D$.

In Young's double-slit experiment performed using a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,when a glass plate $(\mu=1.5)$ of thickness $t = x \lambda$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams,the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The value of $x$ will be..........

Interference fringes were produced in Young's double slit experiment using light of wavelength $5000 \, Å$. When a film of material $2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, cm$ thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by a distance equal to $20$ fringe widths. The refractive index of the material of the film is
