In a Young's double-slit experiment,$D$ is the distance of the screen from the slits and $d$ is the separation between the slits. The distance of the nearest point to the central maximum where the intensity is the same as that due to a single slit is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{D\lambda}{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{D\lambda}{2d}$
  • C
    $\frac{D\lambda}{3d}$
  • D
    $\frac{2D\lambda}{d}$

Write down the formula for the distance between two consecutive bright fringes or two consecutive dark fringes in Young's Double Slit Experiment.

Interference was observed in an interference chamber when air was present. Now,the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used,a careful observer will see:

$A$ mixture of light,consisting of wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and an unknown wavelength,illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further,it is observed that the $3^{rd}$ bright fringe of the known light coincides with the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data,the wavelength of the unknown light is ...... $nm$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,a student observes $8$ fringes in a certain segment of the screen when a monochromatic light of $600 \ nm$ wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is:

In a $YDSE$,the central bright fringe can be identified:
