The Young's double slit experiment is performed in succession using blue light of wavelength $4360 \, \mathring{A}$ and green light of wavelength $5460 \, \mathring{A}$. If the distance of the fourth maximum from the central maximum is $x$,then:

  • A
    $X_{blue} > X_{green}$
  • B
    $X_{blue} < X_{green}$
  • C
    $X_{blue} = X_{green}$
  • D
    $\frac{X_{blue}}{X_{green}} = \frac{5460}{4360}$

Consider the following statements in the case of Young's double-slit experiment:
$(1)$ $A$ slit is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light.
$(2)$ $A$ slit is not necessary if we use an ordinary but well-collimated beam of light.
$(3)$ $A$ slit is not needed if we use a spatially coherent point source of light.
Which of the above statements is true?

In $YDSE$,let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be the two slits,and $C$ be the centre of the screen. If $\theta$ is the angle $S_1CS_2$ and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,the fringe width will be

If the path difference of the point on the screen from two coherent sources is constant, what is the shape of the trajectory of the point on the screen?

In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is $0.35^{\circ}$ on a screen placed at $2\,m$ away for a particular wavelength of $450\,nm$. The angular width of the fringe,when the whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index $7/5$,is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ..............
