Light from two coherent sources is reaching a point where path difference for yellow light is `3 lambda//2`. What will be the colour of the fringe at that point ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If ligth is monochromatic, a dark fringe will be formed at the point. However, if ligth is white, the fringe seen will be coloured. However, the yellow colour and its neighbouring colours shall be absent.

In Young's double slit experiment, the intensity on the screen at a point where path difference is lambda is K. What will be the intensity at the point where path difference is lambda//4 ?

In a Young's double slit set up using monochromatic light of wavelength lambda the intensity of light at a point, where path difference is 2lambda is found to be I_(0) What will be the intensity at a point when path different is lambda//3 ?

Two light sources are said to be coherent if they are obtained from

Two light sources are coherent when

In Young’s double slit experiment, light from two identical sources are superimposing on a screen. The path difference between the two lights reaching at a point on the screen is frac{7 lambda}{4} . The ratio of intensity of fringe at this point with respect to the maximum intensity of the fringe is :
