Young's double slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. $A$ thin film is introduced in front of one of the slits.

  • A
    Intensity at the position of central maxima must decrease.
  • B
    Intensity at the position of central maxima may increase.
  • C
    Central maxima may remain unshifted.
  • D
    Intensity at the position of first maxima may decrease.

In a double slit experiment,instead of taking slits of equal widths,one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then in the interference pattern:

As shown in the figure,in Young's double slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $t = 10\,\mu m$ and refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.2$ is inserted in front of slit $S_1$. The experiment is conducted in air $(\mu = 1)$ and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 500\,nm$. Due to the insertion of the plate,the central maxima is shifted by a distance of $x\beta_0$,where $\beta_0$ is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of $x$ is $.............$

Interference fringes were produced in Young's double slit experiment using light of wavelength $5000 \, Å$. When a film of material $2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, cm$ thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by a distance equal to $20$ fringe widths. The refractive index of the material of the film is

$A$ plate of thickness $t$ made of a material of refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a double slit experiment. What should be the minimum thickness $t$ for which the intensity at the centre of the fringe pattern is zero?

$A$ flake of glass (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) is placed over one of the openings of a double slit apparatus. The interference pattern displaces itself through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. If the wavelength of the light used is $\lambda = 600 \, nm$,then the thickness of the flake is ........ $nm$.
