Wave Optics DPP for Class 12
Wave Optics DPP for Class 12
The fringe width decreases when the entire arrangement is dipped in water . This occurs because the refractive index of water is higher than that of air, reducing the wavelength of light in water and consequently decreasing the fringe width.
The new fringe width is quadrupled . When the slit separation is halved and the slit-screen distance is doubled, the fringe width, which is directly proportional to the slit-screen distance and inversely proportional to the slit separation, becomes four times larger.
The calculated wavelength is 4.86 × 10−5 cm . This involves applying the formula for fringe position in interference patterns, involving slit separation, slit-screen distance, and fringe order difference.
The fringe width remains unchanged when the frequency of the source is doubled . The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment depends on the wavelength, slit separation, and slit-screen distance, remaining unaffected by any change in frequency alone.
Wavelength of 700 nm will pass through the hole and exhibit strong intensity . In experiments with coherent sources and white light, the longer wavelengths experience less diffraction, resulting in stronger intensities for colors like red (700 nm).
The fringe width will decrease when yellow light is replaced by monochromatic blue light of the same intensity . The reason is that blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light, causing the fringe width, which is directly proportional to the wavelength, to become smaller.
The fringe width becomes three times larger when slit separation is reduced to one-third . Fringe width is inversely proportional to slit separation, therefore reducing the slit distance by a factor of three increases the fringe width by the same factor.
The intensity at a distance β/4 from the central maximum is I0/4 . This follows from the interference pattern in a double slit experiment where the intensity variation is sinusoidal in nature, leading to reduction in intensity away from the central maximum.
When white light is used, the central fringe is bright and two or three colored and dark fringes are observed . This results from the overlapping of multiple interference patterns due to the constituent wavelengths of white light causing various colors to be seen at different positions.
The distance between the third dark fringe and the fifth bright fringe is 1.62 mm . This calculation uses the condition for constructive and destructive interference at specific fringe orders applied in a given experimental arrangement.
