$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D

In a double slit experiment,when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits,the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used).

In a $YDSE$,light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is used,which emerges in phase from two slits separated by a distance $d = 3 \times 10^{-7} \; m$. $A$ transparent sheet of thickness $t = 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \; m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.17$ is placed over one of the slits. What is the new angular position of the central maxima of the interference pattern,and what is its linear position $y$ from the center of the screen?

If one of the slits of a standard $YDSE$ apparatus is covered by a thin parallel-sided glass slab so that it transmits only one-half of the light intensity of the other, then:

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.

$A$ double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium $2$ of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium $1$ of refractive index $n_1(\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. $A$ monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium $1$. $A$ detector is placed in medium $2$ at a large distance from the slits,and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them,so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
$(B)$ The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
$(C)$ The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
$(D)$ The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam,with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.
