Consider the following statements in the case of Young's double-slit experiment:
$(1)$ $A$ slit is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light.
$(2)$ $A$ slit is not necessary if we use an ordinary but well-collimated beam of light.
$(3)$ $A$ slit is not needed if we use a spatially coherent point source of light.
Which of the above statements is true?

  • A
    $(1), (2)$ and $(3)$
  • B
    $(1)$ and $(2)$ only
  • C
    $(2)$ and $(3)$ only
  • D
    $(1)$ and $(3)$ only

In an interference arrangement similar to Young's double slit experiment,the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated with coherent microwave sources each of frequency $10^6 \ Hz$. The sources are synchronized to have zero phase difference. The slits are separated by distance $d = 150 \ m$. The intensity $I(\theta)$ is measured as a function of $\theta$,where $\theta$ is defined as shown. If $I_0$ is the maximum intensity,then $I(\theta)$ for $0 \le \theta \le 90^\circ$ is given by:

In Young's double-slit interference experiment,the ratio of the slit widths is $1:25$. Find the ratio of the maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern.

Imagine a Young's double-slit interference experiment performed with waves associated with fast-moving electrons produced from an electron gun. The distance between successive maxima (fringe width) will decrease if:

In Young's double slit experiment,the slits are $0.5\, mm$ apart and interference pattern is observed on a screen placed at a distance of $1.0\, m$ from the plane containing the slits. If the wavelength of the incident light is $6000\ \mathring A$,then the separation between the third bright fringe and the central maxima is......$mm$.
