In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $1.6$

In Young's double slit experiment,the slits are horizontal. The intensity at a point $P$ on the screen is $\frac{I_0}{4}$,where $I_0$ is the maximum intensity. If the distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $d = 2 \lambda$,then the value of $\theta$ is:

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda$ is $K$. What will be the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\lambda / 4$?

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 an interference experiment, the $m^{th}$ bright fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $n^{th}$ dark fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_2$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}$ is

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths $6300 \, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda \, \mathring{A}$ is used to obtain interference fringes in a Young's double-slit experiment. If the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of $6300 \, \mathring{A}$ coincides with the $5^{th}$ dark fringe of $\lambda \, \mathring{A}$,the value of $\lambda$ (in $\mathring{A}$) is:
