Young's double-slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that 8th bright fringe in the medium lies where 5th dark fringe lies in the air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly

Two polaroids $P_1 and P_2$ are placed with their axis perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light $I_o$ is incident on $P_1$. A third polaroid $P_3$ is kept in between $P_1 and P_2$ such that its axis makes an angle ${45}^{°}$ with that of $P_1$. The intensity of transmitted light through $P_2$

The intensity at the maximum in Young's double-slit experiment is ${\mathrm{I}}_0$ when the distance between two slits is d=5$\lambda$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

In a double-slit experiment, the two slits are 1 mm apart and the screen is placed 1 m away. A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of double-slit within the central maxima of a single-slit pattern?

Two slits in Young's experiment have widths in the ratio of 1: 25. The ratio of intensity at the maxima and minima in the interference pattern I_max/I_min is:

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 3 mm and the slits are 2 m away from the screen one due to light with wavelength 480 nm, and the other due to light with wavelength 600 nm.

Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are

If two waves represented by $y_1=4\sin \omega t$ and $y_2=3\sin \left(\omega t+\frac{{\displaystyle \pi }}{{\displaystyle 3}}\right)$ interfere at a point, the amplitude of the resulting wave will be about

In Young's experiment, light of wavelength 4000 Å is used to produce bright fringes of width 0.6 mm, at a distance of 2 meters. If the whole apparatus is dipped in a liquid of refractive index 1.5, then fringe width will be:
1. 0.2 mm
2. 0.3 mm
3. 0.4 mm
4. 1.2 mm

In two separate set-ups of the Young's double slit experiment, fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio 1 : 2 are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is 2 : 1, the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set-ups is: 
1. 4 : 1
2. 1 : 1
3. 1 : 4
4. 2 : 1

The slits in Young's double-slit experiment have equal widths and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is I₀. If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be:
1. I₀
2. I₀ / 4
3. I₀ / 2
4. 4I₀

A star emitting light of wavelength 5896 Å is moving away from the earth with a speed of 3600 km/sec. The wavelength of light observed on earth will

(3) Decrease by 70.75 Å
(4) Increase by 70.75 Å
