In Young’s double-slit experiment with monochromatic light, how is the fringe-width affected, if the monochromatic red-light source is replaced by monochromatic violet-light source (of shorter wavelength)?

Important Questions on Interference of Light
In Young’s double-slit experiment with monochromatic light, how is the fringe-width affected, if the Young’s apparatus be immersed in water?


What is the effect of the following operations on the interference fringes in Young’s double-slit experiment?
The width of the source slit is increased.

What is the effect of the following operations on the interference fringes in Young’s double-slit experiment?
The source slit is moved closer to the double-slit.

If in Young’s experiment, the distance between the slits is kept smaller than the wavelength of light, the interference pattern will not be seen. Why?

When a thin transparent film is placed just in front one of the slits in Young’s double-slit experiment using white light, what change results in fringe-system?

The phase difference between the light-waves emerging from the slits of Young’s experiment is radian. Will the central fringe be bright or dark? Explain with reason.

State with reason whether diffraction of light takes place at the two slits in Young’s interference experiment.
