In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width will remain the same if ($D =$ distance between screen and plane of slits,$d =$ separation between two slits,and $\lambda =$ wavelength of light used).

  • A
    Both $\lambda$ and $D$ are doubled.
  • B
    Both $d$ and $D$ are doubled.
  • C
    $D$ is doubled but $d$ is halved.
  • D
    $\lambda$ is doubled but $d$ is halved.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by $0.3 \, mm$ and the screen is $1.5 \, m$ away from the plane of slits. The distance between the fourth bright fringes on both sides of the central bright fringe is $2.4 \, cm$. The frequency of light used is $.......... \times 10^{14} \, Hz$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are separated by $0.12 \, mm$ and the screen is at a distance of $1 \, m$. Find the distance of the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe from the center of the screen in $cm$. Given $\lambda = 6000 \, \mathring{A}$.

In a Young's double slit experiment with slit separation $0.1\, mm$,one observes a bright fringe at angle $\frac{1}{40}\, rad$ by using light of wavelength $\lambda_1$. When the light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ is used,a bright fringe is seen at the same angle in the same setup. Given that $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are in the visible range ($380\, nm$ to $740\, nm$),their values are:

In an interference pattern,the $(n + 4)^{th}$ order blue bright fringe and the $n^{th}$ order red bright fringe coincide at a point. If the wavelengths of red and blue light are $7800 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \, \mathring{A}$ respectively,then the value of $n$ is . . . . . .

In Young's double slit experiment,when the wavelength used is $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ and the screen is $40 \ cm$ from the slits,the fringes are $0.012 \ cm$ wide. What is the distance between the slits in $cm$?
