In Young's double slit experiment apparatus shown in the figure, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity on the screen is . The wavelength of light used is , then the value of can be



Important Questions on Wave Optics











Using monochromatic light of wavelength , an experimentalist sets up the Young's double slit experiment in three ways as shown.
If she observes that , the wavelength of light used is :

A parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top, and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? Take the speed of sound in water to be .
