In the ideal double-slit experiment, when a glass-plate (refractive index 1.5) of thickness t is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams (wavelength `lambda`), the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass-plate is

A

`2 lambda`

B

`2 lambda//3`

C

`lambda//3`

D

`lambda`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a
Path difference `(mu - 1) t = n lambda`
For minimum t, `m = 1`
`:. t = 2 lambda`

In YDSE, a glass slab of refractive index, mu= 1.5 and thickness 'l' is introduced in one of the interfening beams of wavelength lambda = 5000 A . If on introducing the slab, the central fringe shift by 2 mm, then thickness of stab would be (Fringe width, beta = 0.2 mm)

In YDSE, the sources is red ligth of wavelength 7 xx 10^(-7) m . When a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.5 is put in the path of one of the interfering beams, the central bright fringe shifts by 10^(-3) m to the position previously occupied by the 5th bright fringe. What is the thickness of the plate?

Light of wavelength 500nm is used to form interference pattern in Young's double slit experiment. A uniform glass plate of refractive index 1.5 and thickness 0.1mm is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams. The number of fringes which will shift the cross wire due to this is

In a Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the slits and screen is doubled. It is found that the distance between successive maxima now is the same as observed fringe shift upon the introduced of the mica sheet . Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment .

In a Young.s double slit experiment, the fringes are displaced by a distance x when a glass plate of refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of one of the beams. When this plate is replaced by another plate of same thickness, the shift of fringes is (3"/"2)x . The refractive index of second plate is

In Young's double slit experiment a mica plate of refractive index mu is introduced in the path of light coming from one of the slit . If the central bright fringe gets shifted to the point originally occupied by the fourth bright fringe, then the thickness of the mica plate will be (symbols have their usual meaning )

In YDSE, the sources is red ligth of wavelength 7 xx 10^(-7) m . When a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.5 is put in the path of one of the interfering beams, the central bright fringe shifts by 10^(-3) m to the position previously occupied by the 5th bright fringe. If the source is now changed to green light of wavelength 10^(-7)m , the central fringe shifts to a position initially occupied by the sixth bright fringe due to red ligth. What will be refractive index of glass plate for the second ligth for changed source of ligth?
