In figure, if a parallel beam of white light is incident on the plane of the slit, then the distance of the nearest white spot on the screen form O is [assume `d lt lt D, lambda lt lt D`]

A

0

B

`d // 2`

C

`d // 3`

D

`d // 6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The nearest white spot will be at P, the central maxima.
`y = (2d)/(3) - (d)/(2) = (d)/(6)`

The refractive index of light in glass varies with its wavelength according to equation mu (lambda) = a+ (b)/(lambda^(2)) where a and b are positive constants. A nearly monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on a thin convex lens as shown. The wavelength of incident light is lambda_(0) +-Delta lambda where Delta lambda lt lt lambda_(0) . The light gets focused on the principal axis of the lens over a region AB. If the focal length of the lens for a light of wavelength lambda_(0) is f_(0) , find the spread AB.

A parallel beam of light of wavelenght 600 nm is incident normally on a slit of width 'd' . If the distance between the slit and screen is 0.8 m and distance of 2nd order maximum from the centre of the screen is 15mm , calculate the width of the slit.

Three narrow slits A, B and C are illuminated by a parallel beam of light of wavelength lambda , P is a point on the screen exactly in front of point A. Slit plane is at a distance D from the screen (D gtgt lambda) . It is know that "BP – AP ="(1)/(3) (a) Find d in terms of D and lambda (b) Write the phase difference between waves reaching at P from C and A. (c) If intensity of P due to any of the three slits individu- ally is I_(0) , find the resultant intensity at P.
