Young's double slit experiment is carried out with two thin sheets of thickness $t = 10.4 \, \mu m$ each and refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.52$ and $\mu_2 = 1.40$ covering the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$,respectively. If white light of range $400 \, nm$ to $780 \, nm$ is used,then which wavelength will form maxima exactly at point $O$,the centre of the screen?

  • A
    $416 \, nm$ only
  • B
    $624 \, nm$ only
  • C
    $416 \, nm$ and $624 \, nm$ only
  • D
    None of these

$A$ plate of refractive index $1.6$ is introduced in the path of light from one of the slits in Young's double slit experiment,then:

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. One slit is covered by a thin transparent plate of refractive index $1.4$ and the other slit is covered by another thin transparent plate of refractive index $1.7$. As a result,the central bright fringe shifts to the position where the fifth bright fringe was previously formed. If the thickness of both plates is the same,find the thickness in $\mu m$.
