Two coherent sources $O_1$ and $O_2$ in Young's double slit experiment are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$. If a second order dark fringe is formed at a point $R$ on the screen,the path difference $O_1 R \sim O_2 R$ is (in $\mu m$)

The source that illuminates the double-slit in a 'double-slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 500\,nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 600\,nm$. Each wavelength produces its own interference pattern on the screen. At the central point,where the path difference is zero,the maxima of both patterns coincide. As one moves away from the central region,the two fringe systems gradually go out of step. The combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct when a maximum of one wavelength coincides with a minimum of the other. This happens when the path difference in $nm$ is:

In a Young's double slit experiment, a small detector measures an intensity of illumination of $I$ units at the centre of the fringe pattern. If one of the two (identical) slits is now covered, the measured intensity will be

In Young's double-slit interference experiment,the distance between two sources is $0.1 \ mm$. The distance of the screen from the sources is $20 \ cm$. The wavelength of light used is $5460 \ \mathring{A}$. What is the angular position of the first dark fringe in degrees?

In a Young's double slit experiment,the ratio of the slit widths is $4 : 1$. The ratio of the intensity of maxima to minima,close to the central fringe on the screen,will be

$A$ beam of monoenergetic electrons,which have been accelerated from rest by a potential $U$,is used to form an interference pattern in a Young's double slit experiment. The electrons are now accelerated by potential $4U$. Then,the fringe width
