In the Young's double slit experiment,if the phase difference between the two waves interfering at a point is $\phi$,the intensity at that point can be expressed by the expression:

  • A
    $I = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 \cos^2 \phi}$
  • B
    $I = \frac{A}{B} \cos \phi$
  • C
    $I = A + B \cos \frac{\phi}{2}$
  • D
    $I = A + B \cos \phi$,where $A$ and $B$ depend upon the amplitudes of the two waves.

In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ 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-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In an interference experiment,interference fringes are observed on a screen when the chamber is filled with air. If the entire chamber is evacuated and observed carefully,then .....

Two coherent sources $O_1$ and $O_2$ in Young's double slit experiment are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$. If a second order dark fringe is formed at a point $R$ on the screen,the path difference $O_1 R \sim O_2 R$ is (in $\mu m$)

Two sources of light are $0.6 \, mm$ apart and the screen is placed at a distance of $1.2 \, m$ from them. $A$ light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. The phase difference between the two light waves interfering on the screen at a point at a distance of $3 \, mm$ from the central bright band is:

In Young's experiment,the distance between slits is $0.28 \,mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1.4 \,m$. The distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe is $0.9 \,cm$. What is the wavelength of the light used in $\mathring{A}$?
