Statement I : The fringe obtained at the centre of the screen in known as zeroth order fringe or central fringe. Statement II: Path difference between the waves from S_1 and S_2 reaching the centre is zero.

In Young's double slit experiment the phase difference between the waves reaching the central fringe and fourth bright fringe will be

If the path difference between the interfering waves is n lambda , then the fringes obtained on the screen will be

The phase difference between light waves from two slits of Young's experiment is pi radian. Will the central fringe be bright or dark ?

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits 1 mm apart with a light source (lambda=632.8 nm) . The distance between the screen and the slits is 100 cm. If a bright fringes is observed on a screen at a distance of 1.27 mm from the central bright fringe , then the path difference between the waves , which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :

In Young's double slit experiment, the 10th bright fringe is at a distance x from the central fringe. Then a) the 10th dark fringe is at a distance of 19x//20 from the central fringe b) the 10th dark fringe is at a distance of 21x//20 from the central fringe c) the 5th dark fringe is at a distance of x//2 from the central fringe. d) the 5th dark fringe is at a distance of 9x//20 from the central fringe.
