  • A
    Fringes are due to a limited portion of the wavefront.
  • B
    All bright fringes are equally bright.
  • C

In Young's double slit experiment,the distance between the slits is $1 \,mm$ and the distance between the slit and the screen is $1 \,m$. If the $10^{th}$ fringe is $5 \,mm$ away from the central bright fringe,then the wavelength of the light used will be.....$\mathring A$.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Young's double-slit experiment is performed with a wavelength of $550 \,nm$. If the distance between the two slits is $1.10 \,mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $1 \,m$,then the distance between two consecutive bright or dark fringes is .....$mm$.

In Young's double slit experiment, carried out with light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000\;\mathring{A}$, the distance between the slits is $d = 0.2\;mm$ and the screen is at $D = 200\;cm$ from the slits. The central maximum is at $x = 0$. The third maximum (taking the central maximum as the zeroth maximum) will be at $x$ equal to......$cm$.

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from one of the slits,what happens to the interference pattern?
