Statement-1: In YDSE, if a thin film is indroduced in front of the upper slit then the fringe pattern shifts in the downward direction. Statement-2: in YDSE if the slit widths are unequal the minima will be completely dark.

In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.28 mm and the screen is placed 1.4 m away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the fourth bright fringe is measured to be 1.2 cm. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

    The young's double slit experiment is done in a medium of refractive index 4//3 .A light of 600nm wavelength is falling on the slits having 0.45 mm separation .The lower slit S_(2) is covered by a thin glass sheet of thickness 10.4mu m and refractive index 1.5 .the intereference pattern is observed ona screen placed 1.5m from the slits are shown (a) Find the location of the central maximum (bright fringe with zero path difference)on the y-axis. (b) Find the light intensity at point O relative to the maximum fringe intensity. (c )Now,if 600nm light is replaced by white light of range 400 to700 nm find the wavelength of the light that from maxima exactly point O .[All wavelengths in this problem are for the given medium of refractive index 4//3 .Ignore dispersion]

    In Young's double slit experiment, slits are arranged in such a way that besides central bright fringes, there is only one bright fringe on either side of it. Slit separation d for the given condition cannot be (if lamda is wavelength of the light used):

    State two conditions to obtain sustained interference of light. In young's double slit experiment, using light of wavelength 400 nm, interference fringes of width X are obtained. The wavelength of light is increased to 600 nm and the separation between the slits is halved. if one wants the observed fringe width on the screen to be the same in the two cases, find the ratio of the distance between the screen and the plane of the slits in the two arrangements.

    In YDSE ,how many maxima can be obtained on the screen if wavelength of light used is 200nm and d=700nm :

    Statement-1: In YDSE central maxima means the maxima formed with zero optical path difference. It may be formed anywhere on the screen. Statement-2: In an interference pattern, whatever energy disappears at the minimum, appear at the maximum.

    (a) A narrow beam of white light is incident on three glass objects as shown below. Comment on the nature of the behaviour of the emergent beam in all three cases. (b) There is a similarity between two of the emergent beams. Identify the two.
