In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from slit $A$,then:

  • A
    The fringes will disappear.
  • B
    The fringe width will increase.
  • C
    The fringe width will decrease.
  • D
    There will be no change in fringe width.

The fringe width for red colour as compared to that for violet colour is approximately (in $\times$)

$A$ double slit experiment is immersed in water of refractive index $1.33$. The slit separation is $1 \,mm$, and the distance between the slit and the screen is $1.33 \,m$. The slits are illuminated by light of wavelength $6300 \,Å$. The fringe width is:

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are obtained on a screen in front of the slits. Now,if a thick glass plate is placed in the path of light from one of the slits,then:

In $Y.D.S.E$, two slits are made $1 \, mm$ apart and the screen is placed $1 \, m$ away. The fringe separation when light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used is:
