In the setup shown in the figure,the two slits,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are not equidistant from the slit $S$. The central fringe at $O$ is then

  • A
    Always bright
  • B
    Always dark
  • C
    Either dark or bright depending on the position of $S$
  • D
    Neither dark nor bright.

When one of the slits in Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ cm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$,then what is the refractive index of the sheet?

$A$ monochromatic beam of light falls on a $YDSE$ apparatus at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin sheet of glass of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is inserted in front of the lower slit $S_2$. The central bright fringe (path difference $= 0$) will be obtained:

$A$ transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a Young's double-slit experiment. By what distance (in $cm$) will the interference pattern shift? The distance between the two slits is $d = 0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 100 \, cm$.

$A$ thin mica sheet of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in the path of the first wave. The wavelength of the wave used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The central bright maximum will shift:

In a double slit arrangement,fringes are produced using light of wavelength $4800 \ \mathring A$. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index $1.4$ and the other with another glass plate of the same thickness but of refractive index $1.7$. By doing so,the central bright fringe shifts to the original fifth bright fringe from the center. The thickness of the glass plate is ...... $\mu m$.
