In a Young's double-slit experiment with wavelength $\lambda$,the fringe width is $\beta$. When two glass plates of thicknesses $t_1$ and $t_2$ $(t_1 > t_2)$ and refractive index $\mu$ are placed in the paths of the two light beams respectively,by what distance will the fringe pattern shift?

  • A
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda} (t_1 - t_2)$
  • B
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda} \left( \frac{t_1}{t_2} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu \beta}{\lambda} \frac{t_1}{t_2}$
  • D
    $(\mu - 1) \frac{\lambda}{\beta} (t_1 + t_2)$

In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,$16$ fringes are observed in a certain segment of the screen when light of wavelength $700 \,nm$ is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \,nm$,the number of fringes observed in the same segment of the screen would be........

Using Young's double slit experiment,a monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \,\mathring A$ produces fringes of fringe width $0.5 \,mm$.

In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$. If two transparent slabs of equal thickness $t = 0.1 \text{ mm}$ but refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.51$ and $\mu_2 = 1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \text{ Å})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe will shift by how many fringes?
