Io young's double slit interference experiment, the distance between two sources is 0.1/n mm. The distance of
the screen from the source is 25 cm. Wavelength of light used is 5000Ã. Then what is the angular position of
the first dark fringe ?

1. In Young's double slit experiment, the slits are 2mm apart and are iluninated with a mixture of two wavelength.
A= 7500 Âand ' =9000 ¢. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on a
screen 2 mfrom the slits will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe
from the other ?
2. In a Young's double slit experimentthe angular width of fringe formed on a distant screen is 0-1 radian. Find
the distance between the two slits if wavelength of light used is 6000Å.
3. Two slits in Youngs experiment are 0-02 cm apart. The interference fringes for light of wavelength 6000¢
are formed on a screen 80cm away. Calculate the distance of the fifth bright fringe.
In Young's double slit experiment, two slits are separated by 3rmm distance and illurninated by light of
wavelength 480 nm. The screen is at 2m from the plane of the slits. Calculate the separation between the
8th bright fringe and the 3rd dark fringe obtained with respect to central Bright fringe.
5. In adouble slit experiment with monochromatic light, fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance
from slits. If the screen is moved by 5 x 102 m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is 3x 10-5 m.
If the distance between slits is 10-3 m. Calculate the wavelength of light used.

In young's experiment for interference of light the slits 0.2 cm apart are illuminated by yelkow light

7. The distance between the coherent source is 0.3 mm and the screen is 90 cm from the sources. The second
dark band is 0.3 cm away from central bright fringe. Find the wavelength and the distance of the fourth bright
fringe from central bright fringe.
State two conditions to obtain sustained interference of light. In Young's double slit experiment, using light
of wavelength 400 nm, interference fringes of width Xare obtained. The wavelength of light is increased
to 600nmand the separation between the slits is halved. If one wants the observed fringe width on the screen
to be the same in the two cases, find the ratio of the distance between the sereen and the plane of the slits
in the tWo arrangements.
In a Young's double slit experiment, light has a frequency of 6 x 1014 Hz. Thedistance between the centres
of adjacent brightfringes is 0.75 mm. If the screen is 1.5 maway then find the distance between the slits.
10. In aYoung's experiment, the width of the fringes obtained with light of wavelength 6000 ¢ is 2.0 mm. What
