In a Young's double slit experiment,${I_o}$ is the intensity at the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ distant $x$ from the centre will be

  • A
    ${I_o}\cos \frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • B
    $4{I_o}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • C
    ${I_o}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • D
    $\frac{{{I_o}}}{4}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$

In Young's double slit experiment,the central bright fringe can be identified

In a Young's double slit experiment,light from a laser source falls on a pair of very narrow slits separated by $1.0 \,\mu m$ and bright fringes separated by $1.0 \,mm$ are observed on a distant screen. If the frequency of the laser light is doubled,the separation of the bright fringes is .......$\,mm$?

Four monochromatic and coherent sources of light,emitting waves in phase of wavelength $\lambda$,are placed at the points $x = 0, d, 2d$,and $3d$ on the $x$-axis. Then:

The fringe width in a $YDSE$ pattern is $2.4 \times 10^{-4} \, m$ when red light of wavelength $6400 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. How much will it change if blue light of wavelength $4000 \, \mathring{A}$ is used?
