उत्तर

The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment depends on the separation of the slits.

\[\chi = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\]

where

\[\lambda =\text{ wavelength}\]

\[\chi =\text{ fringe width}\]

\[D =\text{ distance between slits and screen}\]

\[d =\text{ separation between slits}\]

On increasing d, fringe width decreases. If the separation is increased too much, the fringes will merge with each other and the fringe pattern won't be detectable.

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is used in a Young's double slit experiment. The slits are separated by a distance d and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. Slow that if the incident beam makes an angle \[\theta =  \sin^{- 1}   \left( \frac{\lambda}{2d} \right)\] with the normal to the plane of the slits, there will be a dark fringe at the centre P0 of the pattern.

In a Young’s double slit experiment, the path difference at a certain point on the screen between two interfering waves is `1/8`th of the wavelength. The ratio of intensity at this point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is close to ______.


ASSERTION (A): In an interference pattern observed in Young's double slit experiment, if the separation (d) between coherent sources as well as the distance (D) of the screen from the coherent sources both are reduced to 1/3rd, then new fringe width remains the same.

REASON (R): Fringe width is proportional to (d/D).

  2. the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide.
