In a double-slit experiment,the distance between the slits is $d$. The screen is at a distance $D$ from the slits. If a bright fringe is formed opposite to one of the slits,its order $n$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{d}{\lambda}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda^2}{dD}$
  • C
    $\frac{D^2}{2\lambda d}$
  • D
    $\frac{d^2}{2D\lambda}$

In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width will remain the same if ($D =$ distance between screen and plane of slits,$d =$ separation between two slits,and $\lambda =$ wavelength of light used).

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

In an interference experiment, the third bright fringe is obtained at a point on the screen with light of wavelength $700 \, nm$. What should be the wavelength of the light source in order to obtain the $5^{th}$ bright fringe at the same point (in $nm$)?

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
