In a Young's double slit experiment,${I_o}$ is the intensity at the central maximum and $\beta$ is the fringe width. The intensity at a point $P$ distant $x$ from the centre will be

  • A
    ${I_o}\cos \frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • B
    $4{I_o}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • C
    ${I_o}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$
  • D
    $\frac{{{I_o}}}{4}{\cos ^2}\frac{{\pi x}}{\beta }$

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

The fringe width in Young's double-slit experiment can be increased if we decrease

In a standard $YDSE$ setup,two sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ of intensities $I_1$ and $I_2$ are placed in front of a screen (figure). The pattern of intensity distribution seen in the central portion is given by the graph. In this case,which of the following statements is true?

Assertion: $A$ white source of light during interference forms only white and black fringes.
Reason: Width of fringe is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light used.

In an interference pattern,the fringe width is $\beta$. If the frequency of the source is doubled,the fringe width becomes .....
