A light of wavelength $$6000\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ $$ shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance $$1.0\,mm$$ and illuminates a screen at a distance $$1.5\,m$$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.8 and other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $$\mu ,$$ the central maxima shifts by $$0.1\,rad.$$ Both plates have the same thickness of $$0.5\,mm.$$ The value of refractive index $$\mu $$ of the glass is
Change in path difference for any point on screen is $$\left| {\mu - 1.8} \right|t.$$
For central maxima, phase difference $$= 0.$$
Hence,
$$\eqalign{
& d\sin \theta - \left| {\mu - 1.8} \right|t = 0 \cr
& \Rightarrow d\theta = \left| {\mu - 1.8} \right|t\,\,\left[ {q\,{\text{is very small and is in radian}}} \right] \cr
& \Rightarrow \left| {\mu - 1.8} \right| = \frac{{{{10}^{ - 3}} \times 0.1}}{{0.5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} = 0.2 \cr
& \Rightarrow \mu = 2\,\,{\text{or}}\,\,1.6 \cr} $$

In a Young’s double slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of wave of equal amplitude $$A$$ and wavelength $$\lambda .$$ In another experiment with the same arrangement the two slits are made to act as incoherent sources of waves of same amplitude and wavelength. Ifthe intensity at the middle point of the screen in the first case is $${I_1}$$ and in the second case is $${I_2},$$ then the ratio $$\frac{{{I_1}}}{{{I_2}}}$$ is

A certain region of a soap bubble reflects red light of wavelength $$\lambda = 650\,nm.$$ What is the minimum thickness that this region of the soap bubble could have? Take the index of reflection of the soap film to be $$1.41.$$
There is air on both sides of the soap film.
∴ the reflections of the light produce a net $${180^ \circ }$$ phase shift.
The condition for bright fringes is $$2t = \left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right){\lambda _{{\text{film}}}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& t = \frac{{\left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right){\lambda _{{\text{film}}}}}}{2} = \frac{{\left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right)\lambda }}{{2n}} \cr
& = \frac{{\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {650 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}m} \right)}}{{2\left( {1.41} \right)}} \cr
& = 1.2 \times {10^{ - 7}}\,m \cr} $$

A physics professor wants to find the diameter of a human hair by placing it between two flat glass plates, illuminating the plates with light of vacuum wavelength $$\lambda = 552\,nm$$ and counting the number of bright fringes produced along the plates. The Professor find 125 bright fringes between the edge of the plates and the hair. What is the diameter of the hair?
The reflections from the boundaries will cause a net $${180^ \circ }$$ phase shift.
The condition for bright fringes is $$2t = \left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right){\lambda _{{\text{film}}}}$$
Now, $$m= 124$$ since there is a bright fringe for $$m=0$$ and $${\lambda _{{\text{film}}}} = \frac{\lambda }{n}$$
$$\eqalign{
& t = \frac{{\left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right){\lambda _{{\text{film}}}}}}{2} = \frac{{\left( {m + \frac{1}{2}} \right)\lambda }}{{2n}} \cr
& = \frac{{\left( {124 + \frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {552 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}\,m} \right)}}{{2 \times \left( {1.00} \right)}} \cr
& = 3.44 \times {10^{ - 5}}\,m \cr} $$

Two identical coherent sources are placed on a diameter of a circle of radius $$R$$ at separation $$x\left( { < < R} \right)$$ symmetrical about the center of the circle. The sources emit identical wavelength $$\lambda $$ each. The number of points on the circle of maximum intersity is $$\left( {x = 5\lambda } \right)$$
Path difference at $$P$$ is
$$\Delta x = 2\left( {\frac{x}{2}\cos \theta } \right) = x\cos \theta $$
For intensity to be maximum,
$$\eqalign{
& \Delta x = n\lambda \,\,\left( {n = 0,1,2,3,......} \right) \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,x\cos \theta = n\lambda \cr
& {\text{or}}\,\,\cos \theta = \frac{{n\lambda }}{x} \geqslant 1 \cr
& \therefore n \geqslant \frac{x}{\lambda } \cr
& {\text{Subsituting }}x = 51,\,{\text{we get}} \cr
& n \geqslant 5\,{\text{or}}\,\,n = 1,2,3,4,5,....... \cr} $$
Therefore in all four quadrants there can be 20 maxima. There are more maxima at $$\theta = {0^ \circ }\,{\text{and}}\,\theta = {180^ \circ }.$$ But $$n = 5$$ corresponds to $$\theta = {90^ \circ }\,{\text{and}}\,\theta = {270^ \circ }$$ which are coming only twice while we have multiplies it four times. Therefore, total number of maxima are still 20, i.e., $$n = 1$$ to 4 in four quadrants (total 16) plus more at $$\theta = {0^ \circ },{90^ \circ },{180^ \circ }\,{\text{and}}\,{270^ \circ }.$$

A broad source of light $$\left( {I = 680\,nm} \right)$$ illuminates normally two glass plates $$120\,mm$$ long that touch at one end and are separated by a wire $$0.034\,mm$$ in diameter at the other end. The total number of bright fringes that appear over the $$120\,mm$$ distance is -
Constructive interference happens when $$2t = \left( {m - \frac{1}{2}} \right)\lambda .$$ The minimum value for $$m =$$ is $$m = 1,$$ the maximum value is the integer portion of
$$\eqalign{
& \frac{{2d}}{\lambda } + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{{2 \times 0.034 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{680 \times {{10}^{ - 9}}}} + \frac{1}{2} = 100.5 \cr
& {m_{\max }} = 100 \cr} $$

In an experiment, sodium light $$\left( {\lambda = 5890\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ } \right)$$ is employed and interference fringes are obtained in which 20 fringes equally spaced occupy $$2.30\,cm$$ on the screen. When sodium light is replaced by blue light, the setup remaining the same otherwise, 30 fringes occupy $$2.80\,cm.$$ The wavelength of blue light is

In a Young’s double slit experiment the intensity at a point where the path difference is $${\frac{\lambda }{6}}$$ ($$\lambda $$ being the wavelength of light used) is $$I.$$ If $${{I_0}}$$ denotes the maximum intensity, $$\frac{I}{{{I_0}}}$$ is equal to
The intensity of light at any point of the screen where the phase difference due to light coming from the two slits is $$\phi $$ is given by
$$I = {I_0}{\cos ^2}\left( {\frac{\phi }{2}} \right)$$
where $${I_0}$$ is the maximum intensity. NOTE : This formula is applicable when $${I_1} = {I_2}.$$ Here $$\phi = \frac{\pi }{3}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore \,\,\frac{I}{{{I_0}}} = {\cos ^2}\frac{\pi }{6} = {\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}} \right)^2} \cr
& = \frac{3}{4} \cr} $$
