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?

  • A
    The pattern gets brighter.
  • B
    The pattern gets brighter and closer together.
  • C
    The pattern gets less bright and farther apart.
  • D
    There is no change in the pattern.

In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is

In a Young's double slit experiment,the ratio of the amplitude of light coming from the slits is $2:1$. The ratio of the maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is:

In the figure, Young's double-slit experiment is shown. $Q$ is the position of the first bright fringe on the right side of $O$. $P$ is the $11^{th}$ fringe on the other side, as measured from $Q$. If the wavelength of the light used is $6000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$, then $S_1B$ will be equal to:

Young's double-slit experiment is performed in air and then performed in water. How does the fringe width change?

The slits in a Young's double-slit experiment have equal widths, and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is $I_0$. If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be
