Two identical narrow slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$ from a point source $P$. If,as shown in the diagram,the light is then allowed to fall on a screen,and if $n$ is a positive integer,the condition for destructive interference at $Q$ is that

  • A
    $(l_1 - l_2) = (2n + 1)\lambda /2$
  • B
    $(l_3 - l_4) = (2n + 1)\lambda /2$
  • C
    $(l_1 + l_2) - (l_2 + l_4) = n\lambda$
  • D
    $(l_1 + l_3) - (l_2 + l_4) = (2n + 1)\lambda /2$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,interference is obtained using electron waves. The electrons are produced by an electron gun. To increase the fringe width,one must:

In a certain region of the screen, the number of fringes formed is observed to be $8$ in Young's double slit experiment when light of wavelength $6600 \text{ Å}$ is used. If light of wavelength $4400 \text{ Å}$ is used, the number of fringes observed in the same region of the screen will be:

In an interference experiment,the third bright fringe is obtained using light of wavelength $700 \, nm$. What should be the wavelength of light to obtain the fifth bright fringe at the same point?

In Young's double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is $3 \text{ mm}$ and the slits are $2 \text{ m}$ away from the screen. Two interference patterns can be obtained on the screen due to light of wavelength $480 \text{ nm}$ and $600 \text{ nm}$ respectively. The separation on the screen between the $5^{th}$ order bright fringes of the two interference patterns is
