Young's double slit experiment is carried out with two thin sheets of thickness $t = 10.4 \, \mu m$ each and refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.52$ and $\mu_2 = 1.40$ covering the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$,respectively. If white light of range $400 \, nm$ to $780 \, nm$ is used,then which wavelength will form maxima exactly at point $O$,the centre of the screen?

  • A
    $416 \, nm$ only
  • B
    $624 \, nm$ only
  • C
    $416 \, nm$ and $624 \, nm$ only
  • D
    None of these

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the slits. By how many fringe widths does the central bright fringe shift? The wavelength of the light used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$.

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.

In the figure shown in $YDSE$, a parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from a medium of refractive index $n_1$. The wavelength of light in this medium is $\lambda_1$. $A$ transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n_3$ is placed in front of one slit. The medium between the screen and the plane of the slits is $n_2$. The phase difference between the light waves reaching point $O$ (symmetrical, relative to the slits) is:

In Young's double slit experiment, the aperture screen distance is $2 \, m$. The fringe width is $1 \, mm$. Light of $600 \, nm$ is used. If a thin plate of glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ of thickness $0.06 \, mm$ is placed over one of the slits, then there will be a lateral displacement of the fringes by $... \, cm$.
