In a Young's double-slit experiment,two slits act as coherent sources of waves of equal wavelength $\lambda$ and amplitude $A$. In another experiment,the two slits are arranged to act as incoherent sources of waves of the same amplitude and wavelength. If the intensity at the central point of the screen in the first case is $I_1$ and in the second case is $I_2$,then the ratio $I_1/I_2$ is:

  • A
    $4$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1$
  • D
    $0.5$

In a Young's double slit experiment,a student observes $8$ fringes in a certain segment of the screen when a monochromatic light of $600 \ nm$ wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is:

In a Young's Double slit experiment,the first maxima is observed at a fixed point $P$ on the screen. Now,the screen is continuously moved away from the plane of the slits. The ratio of the intensity at point $P$ to the intensity at point $O$ (centre of the screen) is:
