Figure shows a standard two slit arrangement with slits `S_(1),S_(2).P_(1),P_(2)` are the two minima points on either side of P. At `P_(2)` on the screen, there is a hole and behind `P_(2)` is a second 2 -slit arrangement with slits `S_(3), S_(4)` and a second screen behind them.

A

There would be no interference pattern on the second screen but it would be lighted

B

The second screen would be totally dark

C

There would be a single bright point on the second screen

D

There would be a regular two slit pattern on the second screen.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) According to question, there is a hole at point `P_(2)`, From Huygen's principle, wave will propagates from the sources `S_(1)` and `S_(2)`. Each point on the screen will acts as secondary sources of wavelets.
Now, there is a hole at point `P_(2)` (minima ). The hole will act as a source of fresh light for the slits `S_(3)` and `S_(4)`.
Therefore, there will eb a regular two slit pattern on the second screen.

In the arrangement shown in Fig., slits S_(1) and S_(4) are having a variable separation Z. Point O on the screen is at the common perpendicular bisector of S_(1) S_(2) and S_(3) S_(4) . The minimum value of Z for which the intensity at O is zero is

In a Young's double slit experiment, let S_(1) and S_(2) be the two slits, and C be the centre of the screen. If angle S_(1)CS_(2)=theta and lambda is the wavelength, the fringe width will be

In the arrangement shown in Fig., slits S_(1) and S_(4) are having a variable separation Z. Point O on the screen is at the common perpendicular bisector of S_(1) S_(2) and S_(3) S_(4) . If a hole is made at O' on AO' O and the slit S_(4) is closed, then the ratio of the maximum to minimum observed on screen at O , if O' S_(3) is equal to (lambda D)/(4d) , is

While conduction the Young's double slit experiment, a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources (S_(1),S_(2)) emitting light of wavelength 600nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (for zgt0) at a distance D=3 m from the mid-point of S_(1) , S_(2) , as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d=0.6003 mm . The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining S_(1)S_(2) . Which of the following is (are) true of the intensity pattern of the screen?

S_(1) and S_(2) are two equally intense coherent point second sources vibrating in phase. The resultant intensity at P_(1) is 80 SI units then resultant intensity at P_(2) in SI units will be
