Interference of Light — Prelims Questions
In Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE), the distance between the slits is and the screen is placed at a distance of from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is , what is the fringe width?
In a YDSE, if the entire apparatus is immersed in water (refractive index ), how does the fringe width change compared to when it is in air?
In a YDSE, the intensity at the central maximum is . What is the intensity at a point where the path difference is ?
In a YDSE, a thin transparent sheet of refractive index 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 , , )
Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities and interfere. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference pattern is . What is the ratio of their amplitudes?
Which of the following conditions is NOT necessary for sustained interference of light?
