In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. Thin films of thicknesses $t_A$ and $t_B$ and refractive indices $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ are placed in front of slits $A$ and $B$ respectively. If $\mu_A t_A = \mu_B t_B$,the central maximum will:

  • A
    not shift
  • B
    shift towards $A$
  • C
    shift towards $B$
  • D
    shift towards $A$ if $t_B > t_A$; shift towards $B$ if $t_B < t_A$

In a double slit experiment,instead of taking slits of equal widths,one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then in the interference pattern:

When one of the slits in Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ cm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$,then what is the refractive index of the sheet?

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 Young's double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring A$ is used. If both slits are covered by transparent plates of the same thickness $t$ having refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.5$ and $\mu_2 = 1.8$,and the central bright fringe shifts to the position of the fifth bright fringe,then the thickness of the plates is ....... $\mu m$.
