$A$ monochromatic beam of light falls on a $YDSE$ apparatus at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin sheet of glass of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is inserted in front of the lower slit $S_2$. The central bright fringe (path difference $= 0$) will be obtained:

  • A
    At $O$
  • B
    Above $O$
  • C
    Below $O$
  • D
    Anywhere depending on the angle $\theta$,thickness of plate $t$,and refractive index of glass $\mu$

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 $O$

To make the central fringe at the centre $O$,a mica sheet of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

$A$ monochromatic light source $S$ of wavelength $440 \,nm$ is placed slightly above a plane mirror $M$ as shown below. The image of $S$ in $M$ can be used as a virtual source to produce interference fringes on the screen. The distance of source $S$ from $O$ is $20.0 \,cm$ and the distance of the screen from $O$ is $100.0 \,cm$ (figure is not to scale). If the angle $\theta = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \,radians$, then the width of the interference fringes observed on the screen is ............... $mm$.

Young's double slit experiment is conducted in a liquid of refractive index $\mu_1$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin transparent slab of refractive index $\mu_2$ and thickness $t$ is placed in front of the slit $S_2$. The magnitude of the optical path difference at point $O$ is

In a double slit experiment,when light of wavelength $400 \; nm$ was used,the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away was found to be $0.2^{\circ}$. What will be the angular width of the first minima if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? $(\mu_{water} = 4/3)$
