Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ bright band and the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of the light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • B
    $2.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • C
    $4.5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$
  • D
    $6.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ cm}$

The maximum number of possible interference maxima for slit separation equal to $1.8 \lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used,in a Young's double slit experiment is

The distance between two coherent sources is $1 \ mm$. The screen is placed at a distance of $1 \ m$ from the sources. If the distance of the third bright fringe is $1.2 \ mm$ from the central fringe, the wavelength of light used is:

Assertion: In Young's experiment,the fringe width for dark fringes is different from that for bright fringes.
Reason: In Young's double slit experiment,if the fringes are performed with a source of white light,then only black and bright fringes are observed.

In $\text{YDSE}$,$S_1$ and $S_2$ have the same intensity $I_0$. Column-$I$ shows the distance $x$ of a point $P$ from the central point $O$ on the screen,and Column-$II$ shows the intensity at $P$. Match Column-$I$ with Column-$II$. (Wavelength is $\lambda$)
Column-$I$ Column-$II$
$(A) x = \frac{D \lambda}{d}$ $(P) I_0$
$(B) x = \frac{D \lambda}{4d}$ $(Q) 2 I_0$
$(C) x = \frac{D \lambda}{3d}$ $(R) 3 I_0$
$(D) x = \frac{D \lambda}{6d}$ $(S) 4 I_0$

In a double slit experiment with monochromatic light,fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the plane of slits. If the screen is moved by $5 \times 10^{-2} \,m$ towards the slits,the change in fringe width is $3 \times 10^{-3} \,cm$. If the distance between the slits is $1 \,mm$,then the wavelength of the light will be . . . . . . $nm$.
