In a Young's double-slit experiment,sodium light of wavelength $5890 \ \mathring A$ is used,and the angular width of the fringe is found to be $0.20^\circ$. If the angular width is to be increased by $10\%$,what is the required change in the wavelength?

  • A
    Increase the wavelength by $589 \ \mathring A$.
  • B
    Decrease the wavelength by $589 \ \mathring A$.
  • C
    Increase the wavelength by $6479 \ \mathring A$.
  • D
    No change in wavelength is required.

In Young's double-slit experiment,an interference pattern is obtained on a screen by light of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring A$,coming from coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$. At a certain point $P$ on the screen,the third dark fringe is formed. Then the path difference $S_1P - S_2P$ in microns is:

In Young's double slit experiment,the slits are $2\, mm$ apart and are illuminated by light of two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 12000\, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 10000\, \mathring{A}$. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen $2\, m$ from the slits will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other? (in $mm$)

In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is $d$ and the wavelength of the light is $\lambda$. The intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is four times the intensity of light falling on slit $2$. Choose the correct choice(s).
$(A)$ If $d = \lambda$, the screen will contain only one maximum
$(B)$ If $\lambda < d < 2\lambda$, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen
$(C)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit $2$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
$(D)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $2$ is increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit $1$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase

In a double-slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \, \mathring{A})$ is $0.20^o$. If the fringe width increases by $10\%$, what is the change in the wavelength?
