White light is used to illuminate the two slits in Young’s double-slit experiment. The separation between the slits is , and the screen is at a distance () from the slits. At a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, certain wavelengths are missing. Some of these missing wavelengths are


Important Questions on Wave Optics




While conducting the Young's double-slit experiment, a student replaced two slits with a large opaque plate in the plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources emitting light of wavelength The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the plane at a distance from the mid-point ofas shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources . The origin is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?

Two coherent monochromatic point sources and of wavelength are placed symmetrically on either side of the center of the circle as shown. The sources are separated by a distance This arrangement produces interference fringes visible as alternate bright and dark spots on the circumference of the circle. The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots is Which of the following options is/are correct?
