Young's double slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. $A$ thin film is introduced in front of one of the slits.

  • A
    Intensity at the position of central maxima must decrease.
  • B
    Intensity at the position of central maxima may increase.
  • C
    Central maxima may remain unshifted.
  • D
    Intensity at the position of first maxima may decrease.

In a Young's double slit experimental arrangement shown here,if a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of the slit $S_1$,then the path difference $(S_1P - S_2P)$

On placing a thin film of mica of thickness $12 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$ in the path of one of the interfering waves in Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light,the fringe pattern shifts through a distance equal to the width of a bright fringe. If the wavelength used is $\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$,the refractive index of mica is:

In the figure shown,if a parallel beam of white light is incident on the plane of the slits,then the distance of the white spot on the screen from $O$ is [Assume $d << D, \lambda << d$].

$A$ monochromatic light source $S$ of wavelength $440 \,nm$ is placed slightly above a plane mirror $M$ as shown below. The image of $S$ in $M$ can be used as a virtual source to produce interference fringes on the screen. The distance of source $S$ from $O$ is $20.0 \,cm$ and the distance of the screen from $O$ is $100.0 \,cm$ (figure is not to scale). If the angle $\theta = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \,radians$, then the width of the interference fringes observed on the screen is ............... $mm$.

If a thin mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 5/3$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams as shown in the figure,then the displacement of the fringe system is:
