उत्तर

The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is given by
β=λD/d/

whereλ=Wavelength of source

D=Distance between the slits and screen

d=Distance between the slits

βD

The variation of fringe width with distance of screen from the slits is given by the graph shown below:
 

It is a linear graph with slope equal to λ/d. So, for the fringe width to vary linearly with distance of screen from the slits, the ratio of wavelength to distance between the slits should remain constant. Therefore, it is advised to take wavelengths of incident light nearly equal to the width of the slit.

In young’s double slit experiment, deduce the conditions for obtaining constructive and destructive interference fringes. Hence, deduce the expression for the fringe width.


In Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light of wavelength λ, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where path difference is λ, is K units. Find out the intensity of light at a point where path difference is `λ/3`.


In a double-slit experiment the angular width of a fringe is found to be 0.2° on a screen placed 1 m away. The wavelength of light used is 600 nm. What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? Take refractive index of water to be 4/3.


If one of two identical slits producing interference in Young’s experiment is covered with glass, so that the light intensity passing through it is reduced to 50%, find the ratio of the maximum and minimum intensity of the fringe in the interference pattern.


 What is the effect on the interference fringes to a Young’s double slit experiment when

(i) the separation between the two slits is decreased?

(iii) the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?

Justify your answer in each case.


How does the fringe width get affected, if the entire experimental apparatus of Young is immersed in water?


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.


How will the interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment be affected if the source slit is moved away from the plane of the slits?


A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths 600 nm and 500 nm is used in Young's double slit experiment. The silt separation is 1.0 mm and the screen is kept 0.60 m away from the plane of the slits. Calculate:

  1. the distance of the second bright fringe from the central maximum for wavelength 500 nm, and
  2. the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide.

In a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the plane of slits. If the screen is moved by 5 × 10-2 m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is 3 × 10-3 cm. If the distance between the slits is 1 mm, then the wavelength of the light will be ______ nm.
