In a double slit experiment,at a certain point on the screen,the path difference between the two interfering waves is $\frac{1}{8}$ of a wavelength. The ratio of the intensity of light at that point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is:

  • A
    $0.853$
  • B
    $0.672$
  • C
    $0.760$
  • D
    $0.583$

In Young's double-slit experiment,the two slits are $2 \, mm$ apart and are illuminated by a mixture of two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 12000 \, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 10000 \, \mathring{A}$. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other? The distance between the slits and the screen is $2 \, m$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,the ratio of the slit widths is $4 : 1$. The ratio of the intensity of maxima to minima,close to the central fringe on the screen,will be

Write down the formula for the distance between two consecutive bright fringes or two consecutive dark fringes in Young's Double Slit Experiment.

$A$ mixture of light,consisting of wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and an unknown wavelength,illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further,it is observed that the $3^{rd}$ bright fringe of the known light coincides with the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data,the wavelength of the unknown light is ...... $nm$.

In $YDSE$,how many maxima can be obtained on the screen if the wavelength of light used is $200 \, nm$ and $d = 700 \, nm$?
