Consider the following statements in the case of Young's double-slit experiment:
$(1)$ $A$ slit is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light.
$(2)$ $A$ slit is not necessary if we use an ordinary but well-collimated beam of light.
$(3)$ $A$ slit is not needed if we use a spatially coherent point source of light.
Which of the above statements is true?

  • A
    $(1), (2)$ and $(3)$
  • B
    $(1)$ and $(2)$ only
  • C
    $(2)$ and $(3)$ only
  • D
    $(1)$ and $(3)$ only

In Young's double slit experiment,the amplitudes of the two waves incident on the two slits are $A$ and $2A$. If $I_{0}$ is the maximum intensity,then the intensity at a spot on the screen,where the phase difference between the two interfering waves is $\phi$,is:

In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is

If yellow light emitted by a sodium lamp in Young's double-slit experiment is replaced by monochromatic blue light of the same intensity,then:

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are $2 \,mm$ apart and are illuminated with a mixture of two wavelengths ${\lambda _1} = 750 \,nm$ and ${\lambda _2} = 900 \,nm$. The minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a screen $2 \,m$ from the slits where a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincides with a bright fringe from the other is.....$mm$
