In Young's double-slit experiment,if one slit is made twice as wide as the other instead of having equal widths,then in the interference pattern:

  • A
    The intensity of both bright and dark fringes will increase.
  • B
    The intensity of bright fringes will increase and the intensity of dark fringes will become zero.
  • C
    The intensity of bright fringes will decrease and the intensity of dark fringes will increase.
  • D
    The intensity of bright fringes will decrease and the intensity of dark fringes will become non-zero.

In $YDSE$,the source $S$ placed symmetrically with respect to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is now moved parallel to the plane of the slits so that it is closer to the upper slit $S_1$,as shown. Then,

If one of the slits of a standard $YDSE$ apparatus is covered by a thin parallel-sided glass slab so that it transmits only one-half of the light intensity of the other, then:

While conducting the Young's double slit experiment,a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the $x-y$ plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources $(S_1, S_2)$ emitting light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the $x-z$ plane (for $z>0$) at a distance $D=3 \ m$ from the mid-point of $S_1 S_2$,as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources $d=0.6003 \ mm$. The origin $O$ is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining $S_1 S_2$. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?
$(A)$ Straight bright and dark bands parallel to the $x$-axis
$(B)$ The region very close to the point $O$ will be dark
$(C)$ Hyperbolic bright and dark bands with foci symmetrically placed about $O$ in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ Semi circular bright and dark bands centered at point $O$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. $A$ thin film of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of $A$. Let $\beta =$ fringe width. The central maximum will shift:

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 $... \, cm$.
