Consider the following statements in the case of Young's double-slit experiment:
$(1)$ $A$ slit is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light.
$(2)$ $A$ slit is not necessary if we use an ordinary but well-collimated beam of light.
$(3)$ $A$ slit is not needed if we use a spatially coherent point source of light.
Which of the above statements is true?

  • A
    $(1), (2)$ and $(3)$
  • B
    $(1)$ and $(2)$ only
  • C
    $(2)$ and $(3)$ only
  • D
    $(1)$ and $(3)$ only

In Young's double slit experiment,the $10^{th}$ order maximum is obtained at a point of observation in the interference pattern for a wavelength $\lambda_1 = 7000 \; \mathring{A}$. If the source is replaced by another one of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$,what will be the order of the maximum at the same point (in $^{th}$)?

Light of wavelength $6000 \, Å$ is incident on two slits. The distance between the slits is $0.1 \, cm$ and the screen is placed at a distance of $1 \, m$ from them. Find the angular position of the $10^{th}$ maximum in radians.

In Young's double slit experiment,if the two slits are illuminated with separate sources,no interference pattern is observed because

Young's double slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that the $8^{th}$ bright fringe in the medium lies where the $5^{th}$ dark fringe lies in air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly:

In $YDSE$,the separation between the slits is halved and the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled. The fringe width is
