The graph shows the variation of fringe width $(X)$ versus the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits $(D)$ in Young's double-slit experiment (keeping other parameters constant,where $d$ is the distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as:

  • A
    slope $\times d^2$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{\text{slope}}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{slope}}{d}$
  • D
    slope $\times d$

In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is $0.35^{\circ}$ on a screen placed at $2\,m$ away for a particular wavelength of $450\,nm$. The angular width of the fringe,when the whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index $7/5$,is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ..............

The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is $60^o$. The width of the slit is $1 \mu m$. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it,Young's fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance $50 \ cm$ from the slits. If the observed fringe width is $1 \ cm$,what is the slit separation distance in $\mu m$ (i.e.,distance between the centres of each slit)?

The width of the fringe is $2\,mm$ on the screen in a double-slit experiment for light of wavelength $400\,nm$. The width of the fringe for light of wavelength $600\,nm$ will be $..............\,mm$.
