A point source S emitting light of wavelength 600 nm is placed at a very small height h above a flat figure. The intensity of the reflected light id 36% of the incident intensity. Interference fringe are observed on a screen placed parallel to the reflecting surface at a very large distance D from it.
a. What is the shape of the interference fringe on the screen?
b. Calculate the ratio of the minimum to the maximum intensities in the interference fringes formed near point P (shown in the figure).
c. If the intensity at point P corresponds to a maximum, calculate the mininum distance through which the reflecting surface. AB should at P again becomes maxinum.

If S_1 and S_2 are two point sources emitting light in phase , then what is the shape of interference fringes formed on the screen ?

Shape of interference fringes formed on the screen due to point source P, in the case shown here

In Young’s double slit experiment, the intensity of light coming from the first slit is double the intensity from the second slit. The ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity on the interference fringe pattern observed is

Consider the situation of the previous problem, if the mirror reflects only 64% of the light energy falling on it, what will be the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern observed on the screen ?

A Young's double slit experiment uses a monochromatic source. The shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen is

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
