In Young's double-slit experiment the intensity of light on screen due to each slit is I0 Interference pattern is observed along a direction parallel to the line S1S2, on-screen S

             

The minimum, maximum, and the intensity averaged over the entire screen are respectively:

1.  0, 4l0, 2l0

2.  0, 4l0, l0

3.  l0, 2l0, 3l0/2

4.  0, 2I0, l0

A beam of monoenergetic electrons, which have been accelerated from rest by a potential U, is used to form an interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment. The electrons are now accelerated by potential 4U. The fringe width:

1.  Remains the same

2.  Is half the original fringe width

3.  Is twice the original fringe width

4.  Is one-fourth the original fringe width

The main difference between the phenomena of interference and diffraction is that:

1. diffraction is caused by reflected waves from a source whereas interference is caused due to the refraction of waves from a source.
2. diffraction is caused due to the interaction of waves derived from the same source, whereas interference is the bending of light from the same wavefront.
3. diffraction is caused due to the interaction of light from the same wavefront, whereas the interference is the interaction of two waves derived from the same source.
4. diffraction is caused due to the interaction of light from the same wavefront whereas interference is the interaction of waves from two isolated sources.

In an interference pattern produced by two identical slits, the intensity at the position of the central maximum is \(I.\) The intensity at the same spot when either of the slits is closed is \(I_0.\) Therefore,
1. \(I=I_0\)
2. \(I=2I_0\)
3. \(I=4I_0\)
4. \(I\) and \(I_0\) are not related to each other
