उत्तर
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 0.85.
Explanation:
Δx = `λ/8`
Path difference `Δphi = (2π)/λ xx Δx = (2π)/λ xx λ/8 = π/4`
`I = I_0 cos^2 ((Δphi)/2) = I_0 cos^2(π/8)`
`I/I_0 = cos^2(π/8)` = 0.85

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).
