$A$ monochromatic light source $S$ of wavelength $440 \,nm$ is placed slightly above a plane mirror $M$ as shown below. The image of $S$ in $M$ can be used as a virtual source to produce interference fringes on the screen. The distance of source $S$ from $O$ is $20.0 \,cm$ and the distance of the screen from $O$ is $100.0 \,cm$ (figure is not to scale). If the angle $\theta = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \,radians$, then the width of the interference fringes observed on the screen is ............... $mm$.

  • C

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.

In a standard $YDSE$ setup,a small transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (as shown in the figure). Given that the slab thickness $t = d/4$,where $d$ is the slit separation,and the distance from the source $A$ to the slits is not explicitly needed for the shift calculation,find the position of the central maxima on the screen relative to $O$. Assume the distance between the slits and the screen is $D$.

When one of the slits in Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ cm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$,then what is the refractive index of the sheet?

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the central maximum shifts by a distance equal to $n$ fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is $\lambda$,then $t$ will be:
