Q1easy

In Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE), the distance between the slits is 0.5 mm0.5\text{ mm} and the screen is placed at a distance of 100 cm100\text{ cm} from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is 5000 A˚5000\text{ \AA}, what is the fringe width?

Q2medium

In a YDSE, 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 is in air?

Q3medium

In a 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?

Q4hard

In a YDSE, a thin transparent sheet of refractive index 1.51.5 is placed in front of one of the slits. If the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the width of 10 fringes, what is the thickness of the sheet? (Given: wavelength of light λ=6000 A˚\lambda = 6000\text{ \AA}, D=1 mD=1\text{ m}, d=0.1 mmd=0.1\text{ mm})

Q5medium

Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I1I_1 and I2I_2 interfere. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is 25:925:9. What is the ratio of their amplitudes?

Q6easy
