Q1easy

In Young's Double Slit Experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2mm0.2\,\text{mm} and the screen is placed 1m1\,\text{m} away. The wavelength of light used is 500nm500\,\text{nm}. What is the fringe width?

Q2medium

In a YDSE setup, if the entire apparatus is immersed in water (refractive index μ=4/3\mu = 4/3), how does the fringe width change compared to when it's in air?

Q3medium

In YDSE, a thin transparent sheet of thickness 't' and refractive index 'μ\mu' is placed in front of one of the slits. If the original central bright fringe was at y=0y=0, what is the new position of the central bright fringe?

Q4medium

In YDSE, the intensity at the central maximum is I0I_0. What is the intensity at a point where the path difference is λ/4\lambda/4?

Q5easy

In YDSE, if the slit separation 'd' is doubled and the slit-to-screen distance 'D' is halved, what happens to the fringe width?

Q6medium

Which of the following conditions is NOT essential for observing a sustained interference pattern in Young's Double Slit Experiment?
