In an interference experiment,let $D$ be the distance between the slit and the eyepiece. When the distance between two virtual sources is changed from $d_{A}$ to $d_{B}$,the fringe width changes from $Z_{A}$ to $Z_{B}$. The ratio $Z_{A} / Z_{B}$ is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{d_{A}}{d_{B}}\right)^{2}$
  • B
    $\left(\frac{d_{A}}{d_{B}}\right)$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{d_{B}}{d_{A}}\right)$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{d_{B}}{d_{A}}}$

In Young's double-slit experiment,the distance between the two slits is $1 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1 \, m$. If the wavelength of the light used is $500 \, nm$,then the distance of the third minimum from the central maximum is ... $mm$.

In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

In a $YDSE$ experiment,if a slab whose refractive index can be varied is placed in front of one of the slits,then the variation of resultant intensity at the mid-point of the screen with $\mu$ will be best represented by $(\mu \geq 1)$. [Assume slits of equal width and there is no absorption by the slab]
