उत्तर
Intensity at a point is given by,
I = 4I’ cos2∅/2
Where, ∅ = phase difference
I’ = intensity produced by each one of the individual sources.
At central maxima, ∅ = 0,
I = I0 = 4I
`or, I'=I_0 /4 .... (1)`
At path difference `= lambda/3,`
Phase difference,`phi =(2pi)/lambda xx `path difference
`(2pi)/lambda xx lambda / 3 = (2pi)/3`
Now, intensity at this point,
Hence proved.

Write three characteristic features to distinguish between the interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment and the diffraction pattern obtained due to a narrow single slit.
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 experiment is performed with white light.
(a) The central fringe will be white.
(b) There will not be a completely dark fringe.
(c) The fringe next to the central will be red.
(d) The fringe next to the central will be violet.
A source emitting light of wavelengths 480 nm and 600 nm is used in a double-slit interference experiment. The separation between the slits is 0.25 mm and the interference is observed on a screen placed at 150 cm from the slits. Find the linear separation between the first maximum (next to the central maximum) corresponding to the two wavelengths.
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.
Consider the arrangement shown in the figure. The distance D is large compared to the separation d between the slits.
- Find the minimum value of d so that there is a dark fringe at O.
- Suppose d has this value. Find the distance x at which the next bright fringe is formed.
- Find the fringe-width.

Draw the intensity distribution as function of phase angle when diffraction of light takes place through coherently illuminated single slit.
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:
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:
- the distance of the second bright fringe from the central maximum for wavelength 500 nm, and
- the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide.
In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is d and the distance of the screen from the slits is 1000 d. If the first minima fall at a distance d from the central maximum, obtain the relation between d and λ.
