Youngs Double Slit Experiment

The correct answer is (B) : 2

Path difference at O = (μ-1)t
If the intensity at O remains (maximum) unchanged, path difference must be n 2.
⇒ (μ-1)t = nλ
(1.51) x 2 = nλ
⇒ x = 2n x = 2n
For n = 1, x = 2

In Young's double slit experiment, when a glass plate is introduced in the path of one of the beams, it causes an additional path difference due to the change in optical path length. This can result in a shift of the interference pattern.

The formula for the optical path difference introduced by a glass plate is given by:

where is the refractive index of the glass plate and is its thickness.

For the intensity at the original central maximum to remain unchanged, the introduced path difference must be an integral multiple of the wavelength . Therefore:

Given: and .

So, substituting these values, we have:

This simplifies to:

Cancelling from both sides, we get:

Thus,

Therefore, the value of is 2, which corresponds to the condition given in the problem statement.

The problem involves a Young’s double slit experiment with initial and modified setups, where the refractive index of the medium changes. Let's break down the solution:

Initially, the fringe width on the screen is given by the formula for angular width θ:

θ = λ/d

where λ is the wavelength and d is the slit separation. Given:

• Angular width = 0.35°
• Screen distance = 2 m
• Wavelength, λ = 450 nm = 450 × 10^-9 m

Convert angular width to radians:

0.35° = 0.35 × (π/180) radians ≈ 0.00610865 radians

Assuming initial angular width θ_initial = λ/d, and when the medium with refractive index n = 7/5 is introduced:

The new wavelength λ' becomes λ/n = 450 × 10^-9 / (7/5) = (450 × 5/7) × 10^-9 m

The new angular width θ_new = λ'/d = (λ/n) / d

Thus, θ_new = (450 × 5/7 × 10^-9) / d

Ratio of initial to new angular widths:

θ_initial / θ_new = (λ/d) / (λ'/d) = n = 7/5

Hence:

θ_new = (θ_initial × 5/7) = 0.35 × (5/7) = 0.25°

In terms of radians, θ_new = 0.25° × (π/180) ≈ 0.00436332 radians

Given θ_new = 1/α :

α = 1/θ_new ≈ 1/0.00436332 ≈ 229.223

Rounding gives α = 4

The value of α is 4, which falls in the range 4,4 as expected.

The correct answer is 10.
