In a double-slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \, \mathring{A})$ is $0.20^o$. If the fringe width increases by $10\%$, what is the change in the wavelength?

  • A
    Increases by $589 \, \mathring{A}$.
  • B

The graph shows the variation of fringe width $(X)$ versus the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits $(D)$ in Young's double-slit experiment (keeping other parameters constant,where $d$ is the distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as:

In $YDSE$,the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is $1^o$. The slit separation is $0.01\,mm$. The wavelength of light is:

In Young's double-slit experiment, one slit is wider than the other, such that the amplitude of the light wave from one slit is twice that of the other. If the maximum intensity is $I_m$, then the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere with a phase difference of $\phi$ is:

If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits in a Young's double slit experiment,then the

In a two-slit experiment with monochromatic light,fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by $5 \times 10^{-2} \ m$ towards the slits,the change in fringe width is $3 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. If the separation between the slits is $10^{-3} \ m$,the wavelength of light used is ....... $\mathring{A}$.
