Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ bright band and the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of the light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • B
    $2.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • C
    $4.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • D
    $6.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,white light is used. The distance between the two slits is $b$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $d$ (where $d >> b$). At the point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits,certain wavelengths are missing. Some of the missing wavelengths are: $(1) \lambda = b^2/d$,$(2) \lambda = 2b^2/d$,$(3) \lambda = b^2/3d$,$(4) \lambda = 2b^2/3d$.

Young's double-slit experiment is performed using green light,red light,and blue light,one at a time. The fringe widths recorded are $\beta_G, \beta_R,$ and $\beta_B$ respectively. Then:

In a Young's double slit experiment with slit separation $0.1\, mm$,one observes a bright fringe at angle $\frac{1}{40}\, rad$ by using light of wavelength $\lambda_1$. When the light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ is used,a bright fringe is seen at the same angle in the same setup. Given that $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are in the visible range ($380\, nm$ to $740\, nm$),their values are:

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 $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$)

In an interference pattern,the fringe width is $\beta$. If the frequency of the source is doubled,the fringe width becomes .....
