उत्तर
We know
Phase difference `= ((2pi)/lambda) xx` path difference
At path difference λ
Phase difference ,`phi = (2pi)/lambda xx lambda = 2pi`
Intensity, `I = 4I_0 cos^2 phi/2`
or ,` K = 4I_0 cos^2 (2pi)/2` [given I = K at path difference λ]
or, `K = 4I_0`
or ,`I_0 = K/4`
Now, at path difference `= lambda/3`
`phi' = (2pi)/lambda xx lambda/3 = (2pi)/3`
Intensity , `I' =4I_0 cos^2 1/2 ((2pi)/3)`
0r, `I' = 4 xx K/4 cos^2 pi/3`
`I'=K/4`

Using monochromatic light of wavelength λ in Young’s double slit experiment, the eleventh dark fringe is obtained on the screen for a phase difference of ______.
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.
Two transparent slabs having equal thickness but different refractive indices µ1 and µ2are pasted side by side to form a composite slab. This slab is placed just after the double slit in a Young's experiment so that the light from one slit goes through one material and the light from the other slit goes through the other material. What should be the minimum thickness of the slab so that there is a minimum at the point P0 which is equidistant from the slits?
Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. By some mechanism, the separation between the slits S3 and S4 can be changed. The intensity is measured at the point P, which is at the common perpendicular bisector of S1S2 and S2S4. When \[z = \frac{D\lambda}{2d},\] the intensity measured at P is I. Find the intensity when z is equal 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).
A slit of width 0.6 mm is illuminated by a beam of light consisting of two wavelengths 600 nm and 480 nm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 1.0 m from the slit. Find:
- The distance of the second bright fringe from the central maximum pertaining to the light of 600 nm.
- The least distance from the central maximum at which bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide.
In Young's double slit experiment, the distance of the 4th bright fringe from the centre of the interference pattern is 1.5 mm. The distance between the slits and the screen is 1.5 m, and the wavelength of light used is 500 nm. Calculate the distance between the two slits.
