The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal widths, and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is $I_0$. If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be

  • A
    $I_0$
  • B
    $I_0 / 4$
  • C
    $I_0 / 2$
  • D
    $4I_0$

In a Young's double slit experiment,$12$ fringes are observed to be formed in a certain segment of the screen when light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,the number of fringes observed in the same segment of the screen is:

The distance between two slits in a double slit experiment is $1 \ mm$. The distance between the slits and the screen is $1 \ m$. If the distance of the $10^{th}$ fringe from the central fringe is $5 \ mm$, then the wavelength of light is $... \mathring{A}$.

If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light,then

In a $YDSE$,light of two different wavelengths $(\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ is incident normal to the plane of slits. The $n^{th}$ maxima of $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $m^{th}$ maxima of $\lambda_2$ exactly in front of one of the slits. Given $D = 1.5 \ m$,$d = 3 \ mm$,and $4500 \ \mathring{A} < \lambda_1, \lambda_2 < 7000 \ \mathring{A}$,then $n, m$ and $\lambda_1$ are:

Using Young's double slit experiment,a monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \,\mathring A$ produces fringes of fringe width $0.5 \,mm$. If another monochromatic light of wavelength $6000 \,\mathring A$ is used and the separation between the slits is doubled,then the new fringe width will be ............... $mm$.
