    Phase difference is $3\pi$.
  • B
    Phase difference is $5\pi/2$.
  • C
    Path difference is $3\lambda$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment, the distance between two coherent sources is $0.90 \, mm$ and the distance from the sources to the screen is $1 \, m$. If the distance of the second bright fringe from the center of the central bright fringe is $1 \, mm$, find the wavelength of the light used.

The intensity of each source in Young's double slit experiment is $I_0$. The distance between the slits is $d = 5\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light used. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen (where the slit and screen are at a distance $D = 10d$)?

Two light waves of wavelengths $800 \, nm$ and $600 \, nm$ are used in Young's double slit experiment to obtain interference fringes on a screen placed $7 \, m$ away from the plane of the slits. If the two slits are separated by $0.35 \, mm$,then the shortest distance from the central bright maximum to the point where the bright fringes of the two wavelengths coincide will be $............. \, mm$.

In Young's experiment,the distance between slits is $0.28 \,mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1.4 \,m$. The distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe is $0.9 \,cm$. What is the wavelength of the light used in $\mathring{A}$?

Two sources produce an interference pattern which is observed on a screen,at a distance $D$ from the sources. The fringe width is $2w$. If the distance $D$ is now doubled,the fringe width will be:
