In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

  • A
    $1:1$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $4:1$
  • D
    none of these

Explain Young's double-slit experiment,its experimental arrangement,and how it produces an interference pattern.

The intensity of each source in Young's double slit experiment is $I_0$. The distance between the slits is $d = 5\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light used. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen (where the slit and screen are at a distance $D = 10d$)?

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths $6500 \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \mathring{A}$ is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double-slit experiment. The distance between slits is $2 \text{ mm}$ and the distance of the screen from the slits is $120 \text{ cm}$. What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide (in $\text{ cm}$)?

In a Young's double slit experiment,a student observes $8$ fringes in a certain segment of the screen when a monochromatic light of $600 \ nm$ wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is:

In a Young's double slit experiment,the slit separation is $0.2 \ cm$,the distance between the screen and slit is $1 \ m$. The wavelength of the light used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The distance between two consecutive dark fringes (in $mm$) is
