प्रश्न

Write three characteristic features to distinguish between the interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment and the diffraction pattern obtained due to a narrow single slit.

उत्तर

1. Interference is the result of interaction of light coming from two different wavefronts originating from two coherent sources,whereas diffraction pattern is the result of interaction of light coming from different parts of the same wavefront.
2. In Interference, the fringes may or may not be of the same width; while in diffraction, the fringes are always of varying widths.
3. In Interference, the bright fringes are of the same intensity; while in diffraction, the bright fringes are of varying intensities.

How does the fringe width get affected, if the entire experimental apparatus of Young is immersed in water?


A double slit S1 − S2 is illuminated by a coherent light of wavelength \[\lambda.\] The slits are separated by a distance d. A plane mirror is placed in front of the double slit at a distance D1 from it and a screen ∑ is placed behind the double slit at a distance D2 from it (see the following figure). The screen ∑ receives only the light reflected by the mirror. Find the fringe-width of the interference pattern on the screen.
