उत्तर

In a Young’s double slit experiment, the path difference at a certain point on the screen between two interfering waves is `1/8`th of the wavelength. The ratio of intensity at this point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is close to 0.85.

Explanation:

Δx = `λ/8`

Path difference `Δphi = (2π)/λ xx Δx  = (2π)/λ xx λ/8 = π/4`

`I = I_0 cos^2 ((Δphi)/2) = I_0 cos^2(π/8)`

`I/I_0 = cos^2(π/8)` = 0.85

In a Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron (1 micron = 10−6 m) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.
