In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

  • A
    $1.8$
  • B
    $1.9$
  • C
    $1.7$
  • D

$A$ graph is plotted between the fringe-width $(z)$ and the distance $(D)$ between the slit and the eye-piece,keeping other parameters constant. Which of the following graphs is correct?

In a Young's double slit experiment,two slits are separated by $2 \, mm$ and the screen is placed $1 \, m$ away. When light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used,the fringe separation will be ........ $mm$.

When the distance between the slits is increased $4$ times in $YDSE$,the fringe width will

In Young's double slit experiment, the width of the second slit is double the width of the first slit. Consequently, the amplitude of the light from the two slits is different. If $I_m$ is the maximum intensity, the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere with a phase difference of $\phi$ is given by:

Two slits are $1 \, mm$ apart from each other and the distance of the screen is $1 \, m$. If illuminated with light of wavelength $5 \times 10^{-7} \, m$,the distance between the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe and the $5^{th}$ bright fringe is......$mm$.
