In Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled. It is found that the distance between successive maxima (or minima) now is the same as the observed fringe shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment
Monochromatic light of wavelength 622 nm is incident on a single-slit of width 0.321 mm. The diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 4.88 m from the slit. The intensity at the center of the central maximum is I_0. What is the distance (in mm) on the screen from the center of the central maximum to a point on the screen where the intensity has fallen to I_0/2?
In a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with a separation of 0.108 mm is illuminated by light having a wavelength of 584 nm and the interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits.

In Young’s double slit experiment, mono-chromatic light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the pair of slits and produces an interference pattern in which two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 10 mm. Another source of monochromatic light produces the interference pattern in which the two consecutive bright fringes are separated by 8 mm. Find the wavelength of light from the second source. What is the effect on the interference fringes if the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?
An instructor directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 550 nm and the slit is 0.230 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.65 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider the first dark fringe on either side of the central peak (m = ±1). How does its distance relate to the full width of the central maximum? Take care with units. mm (b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen? Single-slit diffraction is most readily described with a formula that gives the distance from the center of the pattern to the mth-order dark fringe. Consider two adjacent fringes on one side of the…
