In Young’s double-slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ. In another experiment with the same set up, the two slits are of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

(1) 1 : 2

(2) 2 : 1

(3) 4 : 1

(4) 1 : 1

A monochromatic beam of light falls on the YDSE apparatus at some angle (say θ) as shown in the figure. A thin sheet of glass is inserted in front of the lower slit S2. The central bright fringe (path difference = 0) will be obtained:

(1) At O

(2) Above O

(3) Below O

(4) Anywhere depending on angle θ, the thickness of plate t and refractive index of glass μ

Two ideal slits S1 and S2 are at a distance d apart and illuminated by the light of wavelength λ passing through an ideal source slit S placed on the line through S2 as shown. The distance between the planes of slits and the source slit is D. A screen is held at a distance D from the plane of the slits. The minimum value of d for which there is darkness at O is:

(1) 3λD2

(2) λD

(3) λD2

(4) 3λD

Two coherent sources separated by distance \(d\) are radiating in a phase having wavelength \(\lambda.\) A detector moves in a big circle around the two sources in the plane of the two sources. The angular position of \(n=4\) interference maxima is given as:

            
1. \(\text{sin}^{-1}\left(\frac{n\lambda}{d}\right )\)
2. \(\text{cos}^{-1}\left(\frac{4\lambda}{d}\right)\)
