In the Young's double slit experiment,if the phase difference between the two waves interfering at a point is $\phi$,the intensity at that point can be expressed by the expression:

  • A
    $I = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 \cos^2 \phi}$
  • B
    $I = \frac{A}{B} \cos \phi$
  • C
    $I = A + B \cos \frac{\phi}{2}$
  • D
    $I = A + B \cos \phi$,where $A$ and $B$ depend upon the amplitudes of the two waves.

If the sodium light in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by red light, the fringe width will

In Young's double-slit experiment,both slits are illuminated by a laser beam and the interference pattern was observed on a screen. If the viewing screen is moved farther from the slit,what happens to the interference pattern?

Two slits are made $10 \ mm$ apart and the screen is placed $1.5 \ m$ away. What is the fringe separation when a wavelength of $7000 \ \mathring{A}$ is used (in $\mu m$)?

In Young's experiment,obtain the distance between two consecutive bright fringes and two consecutive dark fringes.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment, the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
