The contrast in the fringes in any interference pattern depends on:

Assertion : The fringe closest on either side of the central white fringe in case of interference pattern due to white light is red and the farthest appears blue. Reason : The interference patterns due to different component colours of white light overlap.

In the interference pattern, energy is

Two monochromatic sources of light A and B of wavelengths 5500 Å and 4400 Å respectively are used simultanesouly to produce interference bands on a screen. Which orders of the fringes in the two interference patterns will coincide?

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by the light of wavelength 6000 Å is found to shift to the position of 4th dark fringe after a glass sheet of refractive index 1.5 is introduced. The thickness of glass sheet would be

(a) If one of two identical slits producing interference in Young's experiment is covered with glass so that the light intensity passing through it is reduced to 50%, find the ratio of the maximu and minimum intensity of the fringe in the interference pattern. (b) What kind of fringes do you expect to observe if white light is used instead of monochromatic light ?
