In a Young's double-slit experiment,two slits act as coherent sources of waves of equal wavelength $\lambda$ and amplitude $A$. In another experiment,the two slits are arranged to act as incoherent sources of waves of the same amplitude and wavelength. If the intensity at the central point of the screen in the first case is $I_1$ and in the second case is $I_2$,then the ratio $I_1/I_2$ is:
- A$4$
- B$2$
- C$1$
- D$0.5$

View SolutionIn a Young's double slit experiment,light from a laser source falls on a pair of very narrow slits separated by $1.0 \,\mu m$ and bright fringes separated by $1.0 \,mm$ are observed on a distant screen. If the frequency of the laser light is doubled,the separation of the bright fringes is .......$\,mm$?

View SolutionIn Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are separated by $0.2 \, cm$ and illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda = 5896 \, \mathring{A}$. What is the fringe width on a screen placed $1 \, m$ away from the plane of the slits? What will be the fringe width if the entire system is immersed in water (in $, mm$)? (Refractive index of water $\mu_w = 4/3$)

View SolutionIn a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ 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-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)
