Young's double slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that the $8^{th}$ bright fringe in the medium lies where the $5^{th}$ dark fringe lies in air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly:

  • A
    $1.59$
  • B
    $1.69$
  • C
    $1.78$
  • D
    $1.25$

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are obtained on a screen in front of the slits. Now,if a thick glass plate is placed in the path of light from one of the slits,then:

In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In Young's double slit experiment,if the widths of the slits are in the ratio $4 : 9$,the ratio of the intensity at maxima to the intensity at minima will be

In a Young's double slit experiment,light from a laser source falls on a pair of very narrow slits separated by $1.0 \,\mu m$ and bright fringes separated by $1.0 \,mm$ are observed on a distant screen. If the frequency of the laser light is doubled,the separation of the bright fringes is .......$\,mm$?

In an interference pattern,the $(n + 4)^{th}$ order blue bright fringe and the $n^{th}$ order red bright fringe coincide at a point. If the wavelengths of red and blue light are $7800 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \, \mathring{A}$ respectively,then the value of $n$ is . . . . . .
