In Young’s double slit experiment, the slits are \(2~\text{mm}\) apart and are illuminated by photons of two wavelengths \(\lambda_1 = 12000~\mathring{A}\) and \(\lambda_2 = 10000~\mathring{A}\). At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen, \(2~\text{m}\) from the slit, will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?
1. \(6~\text{mm}\)
2. \(4~\text{mm}\)
3. \(3~\text{mm}\)
4. \(8~\text{mm}\)
Light travels faster in the air than in glass. This is in accordance with:
1. | the wave theory of light. |
2. | the corpuscular theory of light. |
3. | neither (1) nor (2) |
4. | both (1) and (2) |
In Young's double-slit experiment, the slit separation is doubled. This results in:
1. | An increase in fringe intensity |
2. | A decrease in fringe intensity |
3. | Halving of the fringe spacing |
4. | Doubling of the fringe spacing |
In Young's double-slit experiment the light emitted from the source has \(\lambda = 6.5\times 10^{-7}~\text{m}\) and the distance between the two slits is \(1\) mm. The distance between the screen and slits is \(1\) metre. Distance between third dark and fifth bright fringe will be:
1. \(3.2\) mm
2. \(1.63\) mm
3. \(0.585\) mm
4. \(2.31\) mm
A beam of light of \(\lambda = 600~\text{nm}\) from a distant source falls on a single slit \(1~\text{mm}\) wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen \(2~\text{m}\) away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is:
1. \(1.2~\text{cm}\)
2. \(1.2~\text{mm}\)
3. \(2.4~\text{cm}\)
4. \(2.4~\text{mm}\)
1. | the intensities of individual sources are \(5\) and \(4\) units respectively. |
2. | the intensities of individual sources are \(4\) and \(1\) unit respectively. |
3. | the ratio of their amplitudes is \(3\). |
4. | the ratio of their amplitudes is \(6\). |
Two superposing waves are represented by the following equations:
\(y_1=5 \sin 2 \pi(10{t}-0.1 {x}), {y}_2=10 \sin 2 \pi(10{t}-0.1 {x}).\)
Ratio of intensities \(\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}\) will be:
1. \(1\)
2. \(9\)
3. \(4\)
4. \(16\)
In the given figure \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) are two coherent sources oscillating in phase. The total number of bright fringes and their shape as seen on the large screen will be:
1. | \(3\), rectangular strips |
2. | \(3\), circular |
3. | \(4\), rectangular strips |
4. | \(4\), circular |
