Interference of Light
Important Questions on Interference of Light
Which of the following is wrong for interference fringes?
Two coherent sources of intensity ratio interfere. Then the value of is :-
In a Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at each slit is . An interference pattern is observed along a direction parallel to the line on screen .

The minimum, maximum and the intensity averaged over the entire screen are, respectively,
In Young's double slit experiment, instead of taking slits of equal width, one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then, in the interference pattern,
Two waves and superimpose to form a resultant wave whose amplitude is
Two light waves are given by, and The ratio of intensity of first wave to that of second wave is -
There are two coherent point sources of light and in the plane at points and respectively. Here, is wavelength of light. At which one of the following points (given as co-ordinates), the intensity of interference is maximum?
Two coherent sources produce waves of different intensities which interfere. After interference, the ratio of the maximum intensity to the minimum intensity is The intensity of the waves are in the ratio:
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:
Two coherent point sources and are separated by a small distance as shown in the figure. The fringes obtained on the screen will be
