In a Young's double slit experiment,$15$ fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. Then the value of $\lambda$ is (in $nm$):

  • A
    $750$
  • B
    $600$
  • C
    $625$
  • D
    $700$

In $Y.D.S.E.$,the separation between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $a$,and the screen is at a distance $x$ from the slits. The light source $S$ is moving with velocity $v$ parallel to the line joining $S_1$ and $S_2$ and is at a perpendicular distance $h$ from the plane of the slits. What is the frequency of change in brightness at the central point on the screen?

The maximum number of possible interference maxima for slit-separation equal to twice the wavelength in Young's double-slit experiment is

In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^{\circ}$ on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \; nm$. What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? Take the refractive index of water to be $4/3$.

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?

Two sources produce an interference pattern which is observed on a screen,at a distance $D$ from the sources. The fringe width is $2w$. If the distance $D$ is now doubled,the fringe width will be:
