In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.
$(1)$ The $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe above the point $O$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions,in micrometer $(\mu m)$,is. . . . .
$(2)$ The maximum speed in $\mu m/s$ at which the $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe will move is. . . . .

  • A
    $601.50, 24$
  • B
    $601.50, 28$
  • C
    $601.50, 30$
  • D
    $601.50, 35$

The slits in a double-slit interference experiment are illuminated by orange light $(\lambda = 600 \ nm)$. $A$ thin transparent plastic sheet of thickness $t$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The number of fringes $(N)$ shifting on the screen is plotted versus the refractive index $\mu$ of the plastic in the graph shown. The value of $t$ is

In Young's double-slit experiment performed using a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,when a glass plate $(\mu=1.5)$ of thickness $t = x \lambda$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams,the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The value of $x$ will be..........

In a double-slit experiment,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light source is $400 \ nm$,the slit separation $d$ is $20 \ \mu m$,and the individual slit width $a$ is $4 \ \mu m$. Considering the interference of light from the two slits and the diffraction of light through each slit,find the number of bright interference fringes that lie within the central peak of the diffraction envelope.

In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$ (as shown in figure). Now, if two transparent slabs of equal thickness $0.1 \, mm$ but refractive indices $1.51$ and $1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \, \mathring{A})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe spot will shift by $..........$ number of fringes.
