Young's double-slit experiment is performed using microwaves of wavelength $\lambda = 3 \, cm$. The distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $D = 100 \, cm$,and the distance between the slits is $d = 5 \, cm$. Find $(a)$ the number of maxima and $(b)$ their positions on the screen.

  • A
    $1, 0$
  • B
    $2, \pm 50 \, cm$
  • C
    $3, \pm 75 \, cm$
  • D
    $3, 0, \pm 75 \, cm$

Two slits are separated by $0.3\, mm$. $A$ beam of $500\, nm$ light strikes the slits producing an interference pattern. Find the number of maxima observed in the angular range $-30^{\circ} < \theta < 30^{\circ}$.

For Young's double slit experiment,two statements are given below :
Statement $I:$ If the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits,the angular separation of the fringes remains constant.
Statement $II:$ If the monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of larger wavelength,the angular separation of the fringes decreases.

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
