In Young's double-slit experiment,$I_0$ is the intensity of the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ at a distance $x$ from the center is:

  • A
    $I_0 \cos \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • B
    $4I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • C
    $I_0 \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$
  • D
    $\frac{I_0}{4} \cos^2 \frac{\pi x}{\beta}$

In a certain double-slit experimental arrangement,interference fringes of width $1.0 \ mm$ each are observed when light of wavelength $5000 \ \mathring{A}$ is used. Keeping the setup unaltered,if the source is replaced by another source of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring{A}$,the fringe width will be $...... \ mm$.

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is $0.4 \text{ mm}$. What is the distance between $4^{th}$ dark band and $6^{th}$ bright band on the same side of the interference pattern (in $\text{ mm}$)?

In the $Young's$ double slit experiment, the intensity produced by each of the individual slits is $I_0$. The distance between the two slits is $2 \ mm$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $10 \ m$. The wavelength of light is $6000 \ \mathring{A}$. What is the intensity of light on the screen in front of one of the slits?

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths $7000 \; \mathring{A}$ and $5500 \; \mathring{A}$ is used to obtain an interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment. The distance between the slits is $2.5 \; mm$ and the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $150 \; cm$. The least distance from the central fringe,where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide,is $n \times 10^{-5} \; m$. The value of $n$ is .............

In Young's double slit experiment,the light emitted from the source has $\lambda = 6.5 \times 10^{-7} \, m$ and the distance between the two slits is $1 \, mm$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $1 \, m$. The distance between the third dark fringe and the fifth bright fringe will be ......... $mm$.
