In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. $A$ thin film of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of $A$. Let $\beta =$ fringe width. The central maximum will shift:

  • A
    towards $A$
  • B
    towards $B$
  • C
    by $t(\mu - 1) \frac{\beta}{\lambda}$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.
$(1)$ The $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe above the point $O$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions,in micrometer $(\mu m)$,is. . . . .
$(2)$ The maximum speed in $\mu m/s$ at which the $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe will move is. . . . .

In Young's double-slit arrangement,the screen starts moving towards the right with a constant speed $v$. The initial distance between the screen and the plane of the slits is $x$. At $t=0$,the $1^{\text{st}}$ order maxima is located at point $A$. After how much time will the first order minima lie at point $A$?

In the setup shown in the figure,the two slits,$S_1$ and $S_2$,are not equidistant from the slit $S$. The central fringe at $O$ is then

In a double-slit experiment,green light $(5303\,\mathring{A})$ falls on a double slit having a separation of $19.44\,\mu m$ and a width of $4.05\,\mu m$. The number of bright fringes between the first and the second diffraction minima is

In a double slit experiment,when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits,the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used).
