A beam of light parallel to central line AB is incident on the plane of slits. The number of minima obtained on the large screen is `n_1`. Now if the beam is tilted by some angle `(!= 90^@)` as shown in figure, then the number of minima obtained is `n_2`. Then,

A

`n_(1)=n_(2)`

B

`n_(1) gt n_(2)`

C

`n_(2) gt n_(1)`

D

`n_(2)` will be zero

A coherent parallel beam of light of wavelength 5000 A is incident normally on the plane of slits. The slit S_(1) is covered with a slab of refractive index mu_(s) = 1.5 and thickness t = 4 xx 10^(-5)m as shown. The separation between the slits is d = 1 mm and the separtion between the plane of slits and screen is D = 1m . Then the position of the central maxima formed on the screen is

A coherent parallel beam of microwaves of wavelength lambda = 0.5 mm falls on aYoung's double- slit apparatus. The separation between the slits is 1.0 mm. The intensity of microwaves is measured on a screen placed parallel to the plane of the slits at a distance of 1.0 m from it as shown in Fig. 2.42. If the incident beam makes an angle or 30^(@) with the x-axis (as in the dotted arrow shown in the figure), find the y-coordinates of the first minima on either side of the central maximum.
