Young's double slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that the $8^{th}$ bright fringe in the medium lies where the $5^{th}$ dark fringe lies in air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly:

  • A
    $1.59$
  • B
    $1.69$
  • C
    $1.78$
  • D
    $1.25$

In Young's double slit experiment,the wavelength of light was changed from $7000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $3500 \ \mathring{A}$. While doubling the separation between the slits,which of the following is not true for this experiment?

In an interference arrangement similar to Young's double slit experiment,the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated with coherent microwave sources each of frequency $10^6 \ Hz$. The sources are synchronized to have zero phase difference. The slits are separated by distance $d = 150 \ m$. The intensity $I(\theta)$ is measured as a function of $\theta$,where $\theta$ is defined as shown. If $I_0$ is the maximum intensity,then $I(\theta)$ for $0 \le \theta \le 90^\circ$ is given by:

The ratio of the distance of the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright band and the $m^{\text{th}}$ dark band from the central bright band in an interference pattern is

$A$ double slit of separation $1.5\, mm$ is illuminated by white light (between $4500\, \mathring{A} - 7000\, \mathring{A}$). On a screen $120\, cm$ away,a coloured interference pattern is formed. If a pinhole is made on this screen at a distance $3.0\, mm$ from the central white fringe,which of the following wavelengths will be absent in the transmitted light? (in $\mathring{A}$)

In Young's double-slit experiment, one slit is wider than the other, such that the amplitude of the light wave from one slit is twice that of the other. If the maximum intensity is $I_m$, then the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere with a phase difference of $\phi$ is:
