In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ 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-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

  • A
    $0.9$
  • B
    $0.8$
  • C
    $1.8$
  • D
    $1.6$

In Young's double-slit experiment,a thin mica sheet of thickness $12 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. It is observed that the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,find the refractive index of the mica sheet.

The fringe width for red colour as compared to that for violet colour is approximately (in $\times$)

Sodium light $(\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-7} \ m)$ is used to produce an interference pattern. The observed fringe width is $0.12 \ mm$. The angle between the two wave trains is:

Two sources of light are $0.6 \, mm$ apart and the screen is placed at a distance of $1.2 \, m$ from them. $A$ light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. The phase difference between the two light waves interfering on the screen at a point at a distance of $3 \, mm$ from the central bright band is:

Two light waves of wavelengths $800 \, nm$ and $600 \, nm$ are used in Young's double slit experiment to obtain interference fringes on a screen placed $7 \, m$ away from the plane of the slits. If the two slits are separated by $0.35 \, mm$,then the shortest distance from the central bright maximum to the point where the bright fringes of the two wavelengths coincide will be $............. \, mm$.
