If a torch is used in place of monochromatic light in Young's experiment what will happen?

A

(a) Fringe will appear for a moment then it will disappear

B

(b) Fringes will occur as from monochromatic light

C

(c) Only bright fringes will appear

D

(d) No fringes will appear

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If we use torch light in place of monochromatic light then overlapping of fringe pattern take place. Hence no fringe will appear.

The maximum intensity in young's double-slit experiment is I_(0) . Distance between the slit is d = 5 lambda , where lambda is the wavelength of monochromatic light used in the experiment. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen at a distance D = 10 d ?

If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is white light, then

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is used in a Young's double slit experiment. The slits are separated by a distance d and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. Show that if the incident beam makes an angle theta=sin^-1(lamda/(2d)) with the normal to the plane of the slits, there will be a dark fringe at the centre Po of the pattern.
