Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • B
    $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true.
  • C
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is $\text{NOT}$ the correct explanation of $(A)$.
  • D
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.

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, the width of the second slit is double the width of the first slit. Consequently, the amplitude of the light from the two slits is different. If $I_m$ is the maximum intensity, the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere with a phase difference of $\phi$ is given by:

In 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}$)

In a $YDSE$,bichromatic light of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 400\, nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 560\, nm$ is used. The distance between the slits is $d = 0.1\, mm$ and the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $D = 1\, m$. The minimum distance between two successive regions of complete darkness is.....$mm$.
