What is the effect on the interference fringes in a Young' double slit experiment due to each of the following operations. a. the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits. b. the (monolchromatic) source is replaced by another (monochromatic) source of shorter wavelength. c. the separation between the two slits is increased. d. the source slit is moved closer to the double slit plane: e. the width of the source slit is increased. f. The monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light? (in each operation, take all parameters, other than the one specified, to remain unchanged).

A screen is placed a distance 40 cm away from an illuminated object. A converging lens is placed between the source and the screen and it is attempted to form the image of the source on the screen. If no position could be found, the focal length of the lens

A beam of light of wavelength 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. What is the distance between the first dark fringe on either side of the central bright fringe?

A beam of light of wavelenght 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1.00 nm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is

The illuminance of a small area changes from 900 lumen m^-2 to 400 lumen m^-2 when it is shifted along its normal by 10 cm. Assuming that it is illuminated by a point source placed on the normal, find the distance between the source and the area in the original position.
