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.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • D
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false

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:

Two identical narrow slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$ from a point source $P$. If,as shown in the diagram,the light is then allowed to fall on a screen,and if $n$ is a positive integer,the condition for destructive interference at $Q$ is that

In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes are displaced by a distance $x$ when a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of one of the beams. When this plate is replaced by another plate of the same thickness,the shift of fringes is $(3/2)x$. The refractive index of the second plate is

$A$ laser light of wavelength $630 \, nm$ is incident on a pair of slits,and the fringe width of the interference pattern produced is $8.1 \, mm$. In another interference pattern produced by a different light,the fringe width is $7.2 \, mm$. Find the wavelength of this second light in $nm$.

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 sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:
