In Young's double slit experiment,if the width (aperture) of the source slit $S$ is increased while keeping other parameters constant,then the interference fringes will:

  • A
    remain unchanged
  • B
    form closer
  • C
    form further away
  • D
    gradually disappear

$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.
