In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $1.6$

In Young's double slit experiment,the wavelength of light was changed from $7000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $3500 \ \mathring{A}$. While doubling the separation between the slits,which of the following is not true for this experiment?

Young's double-slit experiment is carried out by using green,red,and blue light,one color at a time. The fringe widths recorded are $\beta_G$,$\beta_R$,and $\beta_B$ respectively. Then:

In Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are separated by $0.2 \, cm$ and illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda = 5896 \, \mathring{A}$. What is the fringe width on a screen placed $1 \, m$ away from the plane of the slits? What will be the fringe width if the entire system is immersed in water (in $, mm$)? (Refractive index of water $\mu_w = 4/3$)

On using red light $(\lambda = 6600 \ \text{Å})$ in Young's double slit experiment, $60$ fringes are observed in the field of view. If violet light $(\lambda = 4400 \ \text{Å})$ is used, the number of fringes observed will be
