In the given figure,light is incident at an angle $\theta$ with the normal to a plane containing two slits of separation $d$. Select the expression that correctly describes the positions of the interference maxima in terms of the incoming angle $\theta$ and outgoing angle $\phi$.

  • A
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = \left( m + \frac{1}{2} \right) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • B
    $\sin \theta = m\lambda$
  • C
    $\sin \phi - \sin \theta = (m + 1) \frac{\lambda}{d}$
  • D
    $\sin \phi + \sin \theta = m \frac{\lambda}{d}$

In a double slit arrangement,fringes are produced using light of wavelength $4800 \ \mathring A$. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index $1.4$ and the other with another glass plate of the same thickness but of refractive index $1.7$. By doing so,the central bright fringe shifts to the original fifth bright fringe from the center. The thickness of the glass plate is ...... $\mu m$.

While conducting the Young's double slit experiment,a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the $x-y$ plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources $(S_1, S_2)$ emitting light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the $x-z$ plane (for $z>0$) at a distance $D=3 \ m$ from the mid-point of $S_1 S_2$,as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources $d=0.6003 \ mm$. The origin $O$ is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining $S_1 S_2$. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?
$(A)$ Straight bright and dark bands parallel to the $x$-axis
$(B)$ The region very close to the point $O$ will be dark
$(C)$ Hyperbolic bright and dark bands with foci symmetrically placed about $O$ in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ Semi circular bright and dark bands centered at point $O$

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.

In a double slit experiment,instead of taking slits of equal widths,one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then in the interference pattern:

On placing a thin film of mica of thickness $12 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$ in the path of one of the interfering waves in Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light,the fringe pattern shifts through a distance equal to the width of a bright fringe. If the wavelength used is $\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$,the refractive index of mica is:
