In Young's double slit experiment,if the width (aperture) of the source slit $S$ is increased while keeping other parameters constant,then the interference fringes will:

  • A
    remain unchanged
  • B
    form closer
  • C
    form further away
  • D
    gradually disappear

$A$ double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $500\, nm$. $A$ thin film of thickness $2\, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will

In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.
$(1)$ The $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe above the point $O$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions,in micrometer $(\mu m)$,is. . . . .

The central fringe of an interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is found to shift to the position of the fourth bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit. The thickness of the glass plate would be ...... $\mu m$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a glass slab of thickness $1.2 \, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in front of one slit. Another slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $2.5$ is placed in front of the other slit. If the position of the central fringe remains unchanged,then the thickness $t$ is equal to $...... \, \mu m$.

In Young's double-slit experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu$ and thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of the light ray from the first source $S_1$. By what distance will the fringe pattern be shifted?
