Answer the following question.
Write the conditions on path difference under which (i) constructive (ii) destructive interference occur in Young's double-slit experiment.
उत्तर
`I_1` = intensity of light from slit 1
`I_2` = intensity of light from slit 2
phase difference between 2 light waves = `theta = (2xΔx)/lambda`, where `Δx` = path difference resultant intensity `I` is given by,
`I = I_1 + I_2 + 2sqrt(I_1I_2) cos theta`
for constructive interference `I` should by maximum ⇒ `theta = 1`
`theta = 2npi, n = "Integer"`
`2npi = (2piΔx)/lambda`
`Δx = nlambda`
for distructive interference `I` should by minimum ⇒ `cos theta = -1`
`theta = (2n + 1)pi , n = "Integer"`
`2npi = ((2n+1)piΔx)/lambda`
`Δx = ((2n+1)lambda)/2`

In Young's double slit experiment, describe briefly how bright and dark fringes are obtained on the screen kept in front of a double slit. Hence obtain the expression for the fringe width.
A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 650 nm and 520 nm, is used to obtain interference fringes in a Young’s double-slit experiment.
Find the distance of the third bright fringe on the screen from the central maximum for wavelength 650 nm.
If one of two identical slits producing interference in Young’s experiment is covered with glass, so that the light intensity passing through it is reduced to 50%, find the ratio of the maximum and minimum intensity of the fringe in the interference pattern.
Can we perform Young's double slit experiment with sound waves? To get a reasonable "fringe pattern", what should be the order of separation between the slits? How can the bright fringes and the dark fringes be detected in this case?
Two transparent slabs having equal thickness but different refractive indices µ1 and µ2are pasted side by side to form a composite slab. This slab is placed just after the double slit in a Young's experiment so that the light from one slit goes through one material and the light from the other slit goes through the other material. What should be the minimum thickness of the slab so that there is a minimum at the point P0 which is equidistant from the slits?
In Young’s double-slit experiment, using monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by 5 x 10-2 m towards the slits, the change in the fringe width is 3 x 10-5 m. If the distance between the two slits is 10-3 m, calculate the wavelength of the light used.
In Young's double slit experiment the slits are 0.589 mm apart and the interference is observed on a screen placed at a distance of 100 cm from the slits. It is found that the 9th bright fringe is at a distance of 7.5 mm from the dark fringe which is second from the center of the fringe pattern. Find the wavelength of the light used.
The Young's double slit experiment is performed with blue and with green light of wavelengths 4360Å and 5460Å respectively. If x is the distance of 4th maxima from the central one, then:
