A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths \(650~\text{nm},\) and \(520~\text{nm},\) is used to obtain interference fringes in Young’s double-slit experiment. What is the distance of the third bright fringe on the screen from the central maximum for wavelength \(650~\text{nm}?\)
| 1. | \(1950\left(\dfrac{D}{d} \right)~\text{nm}\) | 2. | \(1700\left(\dfrac{D}{d} \right)~\text{nm}\) |
| 3. | \(1100\left(\dfrac{D}{d} \right)~\text{nm}\) | 4. | \(1861\left(\dfrac{D}{d} \right)~\text{nm}\) |
In a double-slit experiment the angular width of a fringe is found to be \(0.2^\circ\) on a screen placed \(1 ~\text{m}\) away. The wavelength of light used is \(600 ~\text{nm}.\) What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water?
(Take the refractive index of water to be \(4/3\)).
1. \(0.33^\circ\)
2. \(0.20^\circ\)
3. \(0.15^\circ\)
4. \(0.10^\circ\)
In Young’s double-slit experiment, the slit separation is doubled. To maintain the same fringe spacing on the screen, the screen-to-slit distance \(D\) must be changed to,
1. \(2~\text{D}\)
2. \(\frac{\text{D}}{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}~\text{D}\)
4. \(\frac{\text{D}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
The Brewster's angle for an interface should be:
1. \(30^{\circ}<i_b<45^{\circ}\)
2. \(45^{\circ}<i_b<90^{\circ}\)
3. \(i_b=90^{\circ}\)
4. \(0^{\circ}<i_b<30^{\circ}\)
A diffraction pattern is obtained by using a beam of red light. What will happen, if the red light is replaced by blue light?
1. Bands will become narrower
2. Bands become broader
3. No change will take place
4. Bands disappear
In Young's double slit experiment, a slit is covered with a thin film so that the optical path difference introduced between coherent waves is . Then the new position of central maxima will be at
1. The initial position of 5th maxima
2. The initial position of 3rd minima
3. The initial position of 2nd minima
4. The initial position of 3rd maxima
In an interference experiment, the ratio of the amplitudes of two coherent waves is \(\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\) The ratio of the maximum and minimum intensities of the fringes will be:
| 1. | \(9\) | 2. | \(2\) |
| 3. | \(18\) | 4. | \(4\) |
The figure shows a Young’s double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness \(t\) and refractive index \(\mu\) is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gets shifted by a distance equal to \(n\) fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is \(\lambda, t\) will be:
1. \( \frac{2 n \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
2. \(\frac{n \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
3. \(\frac{ \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
4. \( \frac{2 \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
