In $YDSE,$ the source placed symmetrically with respect to the slits is now moved parallel to the plane of the slits so that it is closer to the upper slit,as shown. Then,

  • A
    the fringe width will increase and fringe pattern will shift down
  • B
    the fringe width will remain same but fringe pattern will shift up
  • C
    the fringe width will decrease and fringe pattern will shift down
  • D
    the fringe width will remain same but fringe pattern will shift down

As shown in the figure,in Young's double slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $t = 10\,\mu m$ and refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.2$ is inserted in front of slit $S_1$. The experiment is conducted in air $(\mu = 1)$ and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 500\,nm$. Due to the insertion of the plate,the central maxima is shifted by a distance of $x\beta_0$,where $\beta_0$ is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of $x$ is $.............$

In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$ (as shown in figure). Now, if two transparent slabs of equal thickness $0.1 \, mm$ but refractive indices $1.51$ and $1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \, \mathring{A})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe spot will shift by $..........$ number of fringes.

Monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen. When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index $= 1.5$), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the $4^{th}$ bright fringe. The thickness of the glass plate is ..................... $\mu m$.

When a thin plastic film of refractive index $\mu = 1.45$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringes. If the wavelength of light used is $5890 \, \mathring{A}$,find the thickness of the film.

$A$ monochromatic beam of light falls on a $YDSE$ apparatus at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin sheet of glass of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is inserted in front of the lower slit $S_2$. The central bright fringe (path difference $= 0$) will be obtained:
