In Young's double slit experiment:

In Young's interference experiment, if the slit are of unequal width, then

In Young's interference experiment, if the slit are of unequal width, then

A : For best contrast between maxima and minima in the interference pattern of Young.s double slit experiment, the intensity of light emerging out of the two slits should be equa. R : The intensity of interference pattern is proportional to square of amplitude.

In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation between the slits is d, distance between the slit and screen is D (D gt gt d) , In the interference pattern, there is a maxima exactly in front of each slit. Then the possilbe wavelength(s) used in the experiment are

In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity at a point P on the screen is half the maximum intensity in the interference pattern. If the wavelength of light used is lambda and d is the distance between the slits, the angular separation between point P and the center of the screen is

In Young's experiment one slit is covered with a blue filter and the other (slit) with a yellow filter then the interference pattern

In Young's double slit experiment, if one of the slit is closed fully, then in the interference pattern

In Young.s double slit experiment both the slits are similar. If width of one of the slits is doubled then

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made half of the original width:
