The figure shows a schematic diagram of Young's Double Slit Experiment. Identify the correct statement$(s)$ if the source slit $S$ is moved closer to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$,i.e.,the distance $\ell$ decreases.

  • A
    Fringe pattern may disappear.
  • B
    Fringe pattern may become less sharp.
  • C
    Fringe width remains unchanged.
  • D
    All of the above.

In a double-slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \, \mathring{A})$ is $0.20^o$. If the fringe width increases by $10\%$, what is the change in the wavelength?

In Young's double-slit experiment,one of the slits is painted such that its intensity is half that of the other slit. Then:

$A$ Young's double slit experiment apparatus has slits separated by $0.2 \ mm$ and a screen $60 \ cm$ away from the slits. The whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{11}{9}$ and the slits are illuminated with green light $(\lambda = 550 \ nm$ in vacuum$)$. Find the fringe width of the pattern formed on the screen. (in $mm$)

The angular width of a fringe in a double slit experiment is found to be $0.2^{\circ}$ on a screen $1 \ m$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \ nm$. What is the change in the angular width of the fringe if the entire measurement system is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? (Use refractive index of water as $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$)

At two points $P$ and $Q$ on the screen in Young's double-slit experiment,waves from slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ have a path difference of $0$ and $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ respectively. The ratio of intensities at $P$ and $Q$ will be
