Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.

In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

When monochromatic light of wavelength $600 nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment,the fifth order bright fringe is formed at $6 mm$ from the central bright fringe on the screen. If the experiment is conducted with light of wavelength $400 nm$,the third order bright fringe will be located at: (in $mm$)

In Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width is $1 \times 10^{-4} \ m$. If the distance between the slit and screen is doubled,the distance between the two slits is reduced to half,and the wavelength is changed from $6.4 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ to $4.0 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,what will be the value of the new fringe width?

$A$ source simultaneously emitting light at two wavelengths $400 \,nm$ and $800 \,nm$ is used in the Young's double slit experiment. If the intensity of light at the slit for each wavelength is $I_{0}$,then the maximum intensity that can be observed at any point on the screen is

In Young's double slit experiment,a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in the path of the ray from the first source $S_1$. By what distance will the fringe pattern be displaced?
