The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the assertion and reason statements regarding Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that in Young's double slit experiment, as the source slit width increases, the fringe pattern gets less and less sharp. - This is true because a wider source slit leads to a broader range of angles from which light can reach the slits. This causes the interference pattern to spread out and become less distinct. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that when the source slit is so wide that the condition \( \frac{s}{S} < \frac{\lambda}{d} \) is not satisfied, the interference pattern appears. - This statement is false. The correct interpretation is that if the condition \( \frac{s}{S} < \frac{\lambda}{d} \) is not satisfied, the interference pattern will not be clear or may disappear altogether. The condition is necessary for a well-defined interference pattern. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the assertion is correct, but the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The assertion (A) is true, and the reason (R) is false.

A : For interference fringes to be seen, the condition (s)/(S) lt (lambda)/(d) should be satisfied. Where .s. be the size of source slit, S is its distance from plane of two slits and .d. is the distance between two slits. R : In Y.D.S.E, if distance of source slit from the two slits (s) decreases, the interference pattern gets more sharp.

In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between slits and the screen is 1.0 m and monochromatic light of 600 nm is being used. A person standing near the slits is looking at the fringe pattern. When the separation between the slits is varied, the interference pattern disappears for a particular d_(0) between the slits. If the angular resolution of the eye is 1 °/60, the value of d_(0) is?

In a single slit diffraction pattern, if the light source is used of less wave length then previous one. Then width of the central fringe will be-

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.

What is effect on the interference fringes in a Young's double slit experiment due to each of the following operations : (a) the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits, (b) the monochromatic 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 width of two slits are increased, (g) 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) NCERT Solved Example

A monochromatic light of wavelength lamda = 6000 Å is incident on the plane of slit due to which at screen centre O, an intensity I_(0) is produced with fringe pattern on both sides Now a thin transparent film of 11 mu m thickness and refractive index mu = 2.1 is placed in front of slit S_(1) and now interference patten is observed again on screen. After placing the film of slit S_(1) , the intensity at point O screen is :

A : In Young.s double slit experiment, we observe an interference pattern on the screen if both the slits are illuminated by two bulbs of same power. R : The interference pattern is obserbed only when source are monochromatic.

Answer the following: (a) what are coherent sources of light ? Two slits in Young's double slit experiments are illuminated by two different sodium lamps emitting light of the same wavelength. Why is no interference pattern observed? (b) Obtain the condition for getting dark and bright fringes in Young's experiment. Hence write the expression for the fringe width. (c) If s is the size of the source and its distance from the plane of the two slits, what should be the criterion for the interference fringes to be seen?
