In Young’s double slit experiment. the slits are 2 mm apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths , λ₁= 12000Å and , λ₂= 10000Å. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen 2m from the slit will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?

(a) 8mm

(b) 6mm

(c) 4 mm

(d) 3mm

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 3 mm and the slits are 2 m away from the screen one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm. What is the separation on the screen between the fifth order bright fringes of the two interference patterns ?

1. $4\times {10}^{-4}$

2. $9\times {10}^{-4}$

3. $3\times {10}^{-4}$

4. $5\times {10}^{-4}$

Two coherent sources of light can be obtained by:

(1) Two different lamps

(2) Two different lamps but of the same power

(3) Two different lamps of the same power and have the same colour

(4) None of the above

By Huygen's wave theory of light, we cannot explain the phenomenon of:

Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are 

(1) 5I and I

(2) 5I and 3I

(3) 9I and I

(4) 9I and 3I

If L is the coherence length and c the velocity of light, the coherent time is 

(1) cL

(2) $\frac{L}{c}$

(3) $\frac{c}{L}$

(4) $\frac{1}{Lc}$

For constructive interference to take place between two monochromatic light waves of wavelength λ, the path difference should be 

(1) $(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{4}$

(2) $(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{2}$

(3) $n\lambda$

(d) $(2n+1)\frac{\lambda }{2}$

Soap bubble appears coloured due to the phenomenon of:
1. Interference
2. Diffraction
3. Dispersion
4. Reflection

Which of the following statements indicates that light waves are transverse? 

Interference was observed in interference chamber when the air was present, now the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used, a careful observer will see

(1) No interference

(2) Interference with bright bands

(3) Interference with dark bands

(4) Interference in which width of the fringe will be slightly increased
