When YDSE is conducted with white light,...

When YDSE is conducted with white light, a white fringe is observed at the centre of the screen. When the screen is moved towards the slits by 5mm, then this white fringe

A

does not move

B

becomes red

C

disappears

D

Nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Path difference at centre is always zero. Hence, all
wavelengths under all conditions always interfere
constructively.

In a ratio slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringses are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved 5xx10^(-2)m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is 3xx10^(-5) . If the distance. Between the slits is 10^(-3)m , calculate the wavelength of the light used.

In young's double slit experiment with monochromic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the plane of slits. If the screen is moved by 5 cm towards the slits, then the change in fringe width is 30mum if the distance between the slits is 1mm, then calculate wavelength of the light used.

    In YDSE with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on the screen placed at some distance from the slits. If screen is moved by 5 xx 10^(–2)m towards the slits, fringe width changes by 3 xx 10^(-5) m . If separation between the slits is 10–3 m, if wavelength of light used is 1000 y Å, then y is : (Assume distance between the two slits is very small than the distance betwen the slits and screen)

    If the wavelength of light is kept constant and the biprism is moved towards the screen, then the fringe width
