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

  • A
    the fringe width will increase and fringe pattern will shift down
  • B
    the fringe width will remain same but fringe pattern will shift up
  • C
    the fringe width will decrease and fringe pattern will shift down
  • D
    the fringe width will remain same but fringe pattern will shift down

The figure shows a double-slit experiment. Each slit has a width $W$. $A$ thin glass slab of thickness $\delta$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The intensity at the central point $C$ is measured as a function of the thickness $\delta$. At what thickness $\delta$ will the intensity at $C$ be minimum?

In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. Thin films of thicknesses $t_A$ and $t_B$ and refractive indices $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ are placed in front of slits $A$ and $B$ respectively. If $\mu_A t_A = \mu_B t_B$,the central maximum will:

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Find the distance $OP$.

$6300 \mathring A$ wavelength light shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance of $1.0 \ mm$ and illuminates a screen at a distance of $1.5 \ m$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index $1.8$ and the other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $\mu$,the central maxima shifts by $6^o$. Both plates have the same thickness of $0.5 \ mm$. The value of the refractive index $\mu$ of the plate is:

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.
