In a double slit experiment,at a certain point on the screen,the path difference between the two interfering waves is $\frac{1}{8}$ of a wavelength. The ratio of the intensity of light at that point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is:

  • A
    $0.853$
  • B
    $0.672$
  • C
    $0.760$
  • D
    $0.583$

$A$ 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 .............

White light is used to illuminate two slits in Young's double-slit experiment. The separation between the slits is $b$ and the screen is at a distance $d (d >> b)$ from the slits. The wavelengths missing at a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits are

$A$ Young's double-slit experiment uses a monochromatic source. The shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen is

$A$ double slit experiment is immersed in water of refractive index $1.33$. The slit separation is $1 \,mm$, and the distance between the slit and the screen is $1.33 \,m$. The slits are illuminated by light of wavelength $6300 \,Å$. The fringe width is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: If Young's double slit experiment is performed in an optically denser medium than air,then the consecutive fringes come closer.
Reason $(R)$: The speed of light reduces in an optically denser medium than air while its frequency does not change.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
