Young's double slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. $A$ thin film is introduced in front of one of the slits.

  • A
    Intensity at the position of central maxima must decrease.
  • B
    Intensity at the position of central maxima may increase.
  • C
    Central maxima may remain unshifted.
  • D
    Intensity at the position of first maxima may decrease.

In Young's double slit experiment,a glass plate is placed before one slit which absorbs half the intensity of light. Under this case:

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 Young's double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring A$ is used. If both slits are covered by transparent plates of the same thickness $t$ having refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.5$ and $\mu_2 = 1.8$,and the central bright fringe shifts to the position of the fifth bright fringe,then the thickness of the plates is ....... $\mu m$.

In the ideal double-slit experiment,when a glass plate (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) of thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams (wavelength $\lambda$),the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass plate is:

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 $O$
