उत्तर

The intensity of central maxima is I0. Let I1 and I2 be the intensity emitted by the two slits S1 and S2, respectively.

The expression for resultant intensity is

`I=I_1+I_2+2sqrt(I_1I_2)cosphi`

For central maxima, I = I0 and Φ = 0

We assume I1 =  I2

∴ I0=2I1+2I1 cos0=4I1

∴ I1 = I2= `I_0/4`

Now, when the path difference is  `lambda/6`we get

`phi=(2pi)/lambdaxxp.d=(2pi)/lambdaxxlambda/6=pi/3`

`:.I'=I_1+I_2+2sqrt(I_1I_2)cos`

`:.I'=2I_0/4+2I_0/4xx1/2`

`:.I'=I_0/2+I_0/4=(3I_0)/4`

Similarly, when the path difference is `lambda/4`we get

`phi=(2pi)/lambdaxxp.d=(2pi)/lambdaxxlambda/4=pi/2`

`:.I'=I_1+I_2+2sqrt(I_1I_2)cos""pi/2`

 `:.I'=2I_0/4+0`

`:.I'=I_0/2`

 Finally, when the path difference is `lambda/3`we get

`phi=(2pi)/lambdaxxp.d=(2pi)/lambdaxxlambda/3=(2pi)/3`

`:.I'=I_1+I_2+2sqrt(I_1I_2)cos ""(2pi)/3`

`:.I'=2I_0/4+2I_0/4xx(-1/2)`

`:.I'=I_0/2-I_0/4=I_0/4`

The ratio of the intensities at minima to the maxima in the Young's double slit experiment is 9 : 25. Find the ratio of the widths of the two slits.


Suppose white light falls on a double slit but one slit is covered by a violet filter (allowing λ = 400 nm). Describe the nature of the fringe pattern observed.


A Young's double slit apparatus has slits separated by 0⋅28 mm and a screen 48 cm away from the slits. The whole apparatus is immersed in water and the slits are illuminated by red light \[\left( \lambda = 700\text{ nm in vacuum} \right).\] Find the fringe-width of the pattern formed on the screen.


In a Young's double slit experiment, \[\lambda = 500\text{ nm, d = 1.0 mm and D = 1.0 m.}\] Find the minimum distance from the central maximum for which the intensity is half of the maximum intensity.


Two balls are projected at an angle θ and (90° − θ) to the horizontal with the same speed. The ratio of their maximum vertical heights is:


In Young's double slit experiment, the minimum amplitude is obtained when the phase difference of super-imposing waves is: (where n = 1, 2, 3, ...)


Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits 1 mm apart with a light source (λ = 632.8 nm). The distance between the screen and the slits is 100 cm. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at distance of 1.27 mm from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :


  • Assertion (A): In Young's double slit experiment all fringes are of equal width.
  • Reason (R): The fringe width depends upon the wavelength of light (λ) used, the distance of the screen from the plane of slits (D) and slits separation (d).

In Young's double-slit experiment, the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits. What will be its effect on the following?

  1. The angular separation of the fringes.
  2. Fringe-width.

In Young’s double slit experiment, how is interference pattern affected when the following changes are made:

  1. Slits are brought closer to each other.
  2. Screen is moved away from the slits.
  3. Red coloured light is replaced with blue coloured light.
