In Young's double-slit experiment,a monochromatic light source is used to illuminate slits $S_1$ and $S_2$. An interference pattern is obtained on the screen with a fringe width of $w$. If a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the new fringe width $w'$ becomes:

  • A
    $w' = \frac{w}{\mu}$
  • B
    $w' = w\mu$
  • C
    $w' = (\mu - 1)tw$
  • D
    $w' = w$

Young's double slit experiment is carried out by using green,red,and blue light,one color at a time. The fringe widths recorded are $\beta_G, \beta_R$,and $\beta_B$,respectively. Then:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are placed $0.320 \, mm$ apart. Light of wavelength $\lambda = 500 \, nm$ is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular range $-30^\circ \le \theta \le 30^\circ$ is:

In $YDSE$, the distance of the slits from the screen is increased by $25 \%$ and the separation between the slits is halved. If $W$ represents the original fringe width, the new fringe width is (in $\,W$)
