$A$ parallel beam of light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ is incident at an angle $30^o$ with the normal to the slit plane in a Young's double-slit experiment. The intensity due to each slit is $I_o$. Point $O$ is equidistant from $S_1$ and $S_2$. The distance between the slits is $1 \ mm$.

  • A
    The intensity at $O$ is $4I_o$.
  • B
    The intensity at $O$ is zero.
  • C
    The intensity at a point on the screen $4 \ mm$ from $O$ is $4I_o$.
  • D
    The intensity at a point on the screen $4 \ mm$ from $O$ is zero.

$A$ double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium $2$ of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium $1$ of refractive index $n_1(\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. $A$ monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium $1$. $A$ detector is placed in medium $2$ at a large distance from the slits,and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them,so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
$(B)$ The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
$(C)$ The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
$(D)$ The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam,with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.

$A$ small transparent slab of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $L = d/4$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (see figure). What will be the distance from $O$ of the principal maxima and the first minima on either side of the principal maxima obtained in the absence of the glass slab? Given $AC = CD = D$ and $S_1C = S_2C = d$ (where $d << D$).

In Young's double-slit experiment performed using a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,when a glass plate $(\mu=1.5)$ of thickness $t = x \lambda$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams,the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The value of $x$ will be..........

The central fringe of an interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is found to shift to the position of the fourth bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit. The thickness of the glass plate would be ...... $\mu m$.

In a double slit experiment,when light of wavelength $400 \; nm$ was used,the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away was found to be $0.2^{\circ}$. What will be the angular width of the first minima if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? $(\mu_{water} = 4/3)$
