In the `YDSE` shown the two slits are covered with thin sheets having thickness `t` & `2t` and refractive index `2mu` and `mu` .Find the position (y) of central maxima.

A

zero

B

`(tD)/(d)`

C

`(-tD)/(d)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
At the central maxima `Deltax=0`
But upward shift `=((2mu-1)tD)/(d)` and
Downward shift `=((mu-1)2tD)/(d)`
So net shift `y=(tD)/(d)[2mu-1-2mu+2]impliesy=(tD)/(d)`

In the YDSE shown below, two slits are covered with thin sheets having a thickness t and 2t and refractive indices 2mu and mu respectively. The position of central maxima is shifted by a distance of N (in cm) from the central position of the screen. Find the value of N. [d=1 mm, D = 1 m, t = 2xx10^(-2)mm,mu=(3)/(2)]

In a double slit experiment a parallel beam of light strikes the slit plane at an angle theta as shown in the figure. The two slits are covered with transparent plastic sheets of equal thickness t but of different refractive indices 1.2 and 1.5. The central maxima is formed at the centre of the screen at C. (a) Which sheet was used to cover the slit S1? (b) Find theta .

A monochromatic beam of light of 6000 Å is used in YDSE set-up. The two slits are covered with two thin films of equal thickness t but of different refractive indices as shown in figure. Considering the intensity of the incident beam on the slits to be I_(0) , find the point on the screen at which intensity is I_(0) and is just above the central maxima. (Assume that there is no change in intensity of the light after passing through the films.) Consider t = 6 mu m, d = 1 mm, and D = 1 m, where d and D have their usual meaning. Give your answer in mm.

There is a Young's double-slit experiment set-up completely dipped in water. Assume that the refractive index of water is mu_1 . One of the slits is covered with a thin film of thickness t and refractive index mu_2 . What will be the optical path difference at the centre of screen ?

A Young's double slit apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index mu_(1). The slit plame touches the liquid surface. A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wavelength lambda (in air) is incident normally on the slits. a. Find the fringe width. b. If one of the slits (say S_(2) ) is covered by a transparent slab of refrative index mu_(2) and thickless t as shown, find the new position of central maxima. c. Now, the other slit, S_(1) is also covered by a slab of same thickness and refractive index mu_(3) as shown in Fig. 2.49 due to which the central maxima recovers it positon, find the value of mu_(3) Find the ratio of intensities at O in the three conditions (a), (b), and (c).

In Young's double-slit experiment, let A and B be the two slit. A thin film of thickness t and refractive index mu is placed in front of A. Let beta = fringe width. Then the central maxima will shift

In a young's double slit experiment ,let A and B be the two slits.A thin film film of thickness t and refractive index mu is pklaced in front of A .Let beta =fringe width.The central maximum will shift:

YDSE is carried with two thin sheets of thickness 10.4 mu m each and refractive index mu_1 = 1.52 and mu_2 = 1.40 covering the slits S_1 and S_2 respectively. If white light of range 400nm to 780 nm is used, then which wavelength will form maxima exactly at point O, the centre of the screen

In Young’s double slit experiment a transparent sheet of thickness t and refractive index mu is placed in front of one of the slits and the central fringe moves away from the central line. It was found that when temperature was raised by Deltatheta the central fringe was back on the central line (at C). It is known that temperature coefficient of linear expan- sion of the material of the transparent sheet is alpha . A young scientist modeled that the refractive index of the material changes with temperature as Deltamu"= – gama Deltatheta . Find Deltatheta in terms of other given quantities. D and d are given and have usual meaning.
