A monochromatic beam of light fall on YDSE apparatus at some angle (say `theta`) as shown in figure. A thin sheet of glass is inserted in front of the lower slit `s_(2)`. The central bright fringe (path difference `= 0`) will be obtained

A

at O

B

above O

C

below O

D

anywhere depending on angle `theta`, thickenss of plate t, and refractive index of glass `mu`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

If `d sin theta = (mu - 1) t`, central fringe is obtained at O.
If `d sin theta gt (mu - 1 ) t`, central fringe is obtained above O.
If `d sin theta lt (mu - 1)t`, central fringe is obtained below O.

A monochromatic beam of light falls on YDSE apparatus at some angle (theta) as shown, a thin sheet of glas (R.I. = mu , thickness = t) is insdted in front of the lower slit S_(2) . Select the correct alternative.

A vessel ABCD of 10 cm width has two small slits S_(1) and S_(2) sealed with idebtical glass plates of equal thickness. The distance between the slits is 0.8 mm . POQ is the line perpendicular to the plane AB and passing through O, the middle point of S_(1) and S_(2) . A monochromatic light source is kept at S, 40 cm below P and 2 m from the vessel, to illuminate the slits as shown in the figure. Calculate the position of the central bright fringe on the other wall CD with respect of the line OQ . Now, a liquid is poured into the vessel and filled up to OQ . The central bright fringe is fiund to be at Q. Calculate the refractive index of the liquid.

Assertion In the YDSE set up shown in figure a glass slab is inserted in front of the slit S_(1) as shown in figure Then zero order maxima (where path difference =0) will lie above point O. Reason Glass slab will produce an extra path difference in the path of the ray passing through S_(1)

Find the location of central maximum (bright fringe with zero path difference) on the y-axis. b. Find the light intensity of point O relative to the maximum fringe intensity. c. Now , if 600 nm light is replaced by white light of range 400 - 700 nm, find the wavelengths of the light that from maxima exaclty at point O. (All wavelength in the problem are for the given medium of refractive index 4//3 Ignoe dispersion.)

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 experiment, monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits A and B. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. Now if a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from the slit
