In young's experiment, the upper slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index and of thickness , where is the wavelength of light used in the experiment. The lower slit is also covered by another glass plate of thickness and refractive index , as shown in figure. If is the intensity at point due to slits each, then:


Important Questions on Wave Optics

In Young's double slit experiment, what is the effect on the interference pattern if one of the slits is covered with a translucent paper?

As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness and refractive index is inserted infront of slit . The experiment is conducted in air () and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength . Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of . is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of the is ______.





In Young’s double slit experiment, two slits and are distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is (as shown in figure). Now if two transparent slabs of equal thickness but refractive index and are introduced in the path of beam from and respectively. The central bright fringe spot will shift by ________ number of fringes.

Two coherent point sources and are separated by a small distance as shown in the figure. The fringes obtained on the screen will be










In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength the separation of slits is and distance of screen is such that . If the Fringe width is , the distance from point of maximum intensity to the point where intensity falls to half of the maximum intensity on either side is:

The Young's double slit experiment is performed with blue light and green light of wavelengths and respectively. If is the distance of maxima from the central one, then
