In Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda/6$ is $I$. If the intensity of the central bright fringe is $I_0$,then $I/I_0$ is:

  • A
    $3/4$
  • B
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • D
    $1/2$

Who was the first to study the phenomenon of interference of light?

In Young's double slit experiment, in an interference pattern, a minimum is observed exactly in front of one slit. The distance between the two coherent sources is $d$ and $D$ is the distance between the source and the screen. The possible wavelengths used are inversely proportional to

In a Young's double-slit experiment,interference fringes are obtained on a screen placed at a certain distance from the slits using monochromatic light. If the screen is moved towards the slits by $5 \times 10^{-2} \, m$,the fringe width changes by $3 \times 10^{-5} \, m$. If the distance between the slits is $10^{-3} \, m$,find the wavelength of the light.

$A$ Young's double slit experiment apparatus has slits separated by $0.2 \ mm$ and a screen $60 \ cm$ away from the slits. The whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{11}{9}$ and the slits are illuminated with green light $(\lambda = 550 \ nm$ in vacuum$)$. Find the fringe width of the pattern formed on the screen. (in $mm$)

In Young's double-slit experiment,$I_0$ is the intensity of the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ at a distance $x$ from the center is:
