  • A
    The fringe width increases.
  • B
    The fringe width decreases.
  • C
    The fringe width remains unchanged,but the fringes shift.

What happens to the fringe width in Young's double-slit experiment if it is performed in glycerine instead of air?

In Young's double slit experiment, in an interference pattern, a minimum is observed exactly in front of one slit. The distance between the two coherent sources is $d$ and $D$ is the distance between the source and the screen. The possible wavelengths used are inversely proportional to

Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one metre away from the slits. The fringe width when light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used is

In a Young's double slit experiment,two slits are illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda = 800 \, nm$. The line joining $A_1 P$ is perpendicular to $A_1 A_2$ as shown in the figure. If the first minimum is detected at $P$,the value of slit separation '$a$' will be $......... \, mm$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $D = 5 \, cm$.

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 $mm$)
