    $2$ fringes upward
  • B
    $2$ fringes downward
  • C
    $10$ fringes upward
  • D

In a double slit experiment, instead of taking slits of equal widths, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then in the interference pattern

$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?

Consider the figure (not drawn to scale) in which a converging lens of radius $R = 1 \ cm$ and focal length $f = 20 \ cm$ is cut in the middle. The upper part is lifted up by $d = 1 \ mm$ and the lower part is pulled down by the same distance. The gap between them is blocked by an opaque sheet. $A$ point light source with wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ is placed on the optical axis at a distance of $2f$ from the split lens. $A$ large screen is placed at $L = 1 \ m$ from the right focus of the lens. Find the approximate number of interference fringes on the screen.

In the setup shown in the figure,the two slits,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are not equidistant from the slit $S$. The central fringe at $O$ is then

$A$ double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium $2$ of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium $1$ of refractive index $n_1(\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. $A$ monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium $1$. $A$ detector is placed in medium $2$ at a large distance from the slits,and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them,so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
$(B)$ The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
$(C)$ The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
$(D)$ The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam,with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.
