A beam of light of 600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is
                      
1. 1.2cm

2. 1.2mm

3. 2.4cm

4. 2.4mm

Two coherent monochromatic light beams of intensities I and 4I are superposed. The maximum and minimum possible intensities in the resulting beam are 

(1) 5I and I

(2) 5I and 3I

(3) 9I and I

(4) 9I and 3I

If the amplitude ratio of two sources producing interference is 3 : 5, the ratio of intensities at maxima and minima is 

(1) 25 : 16

(2) 5 : 3

(3) 16 : 1

(4) 25 : 9

For constructive interference to take place between two monochromatic light waves of wavelength λ, the path difference should be 

(1) $(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{4}$

(2) $(2n-1)\frac{\lambda }{2}$

(3) $n\lambda$

(d) $(2n+1)\frac{\lambda }{2}$

Ray diverging from a point source forms a wavefront that is:

1. cylindrical.

2. spherical.

3. plane.

4. cubical.

In Young's double slit experiment, if the slit widths are in the ratio \(1:9,\) then the ratio of the intensity at minima to that at maxima will be:
1. \(1\)
2. \(1/9\)
3. \(1/4\)
4. \(1/3\)

The Young's experiment is performed with the lights of blue (λ = 4360 Å) and green colour (λ = 5460 Å), If the distance of the 4th fringe from the centre is x, then 

(1) x (Blue) = x (Green)

(2) x (Blue) > x (Green)

(3) x (Blue) < x (Green)

(4) $\frac{x\left(Blue\right)}{x\left(Green\right)}=\frac{5460}{4360}$

In Young's double slit experiment, if L is the distance between the slits and the screen upon which interference pattern is observed, x is the average distance between the adjacent fringes and d being the slit separation. The wavelength of light is given by 

(1) $\frac{xd}{L}$

(2) $\frac{xL}{d}$

(3) $\frac{Ld}{x}$

(4) $\frac{1}{Ldx}$

In two separate set-ups of the Young's double slit experiment, fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio \(1:2\) are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is \(2:1\), the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set-ups is:
1. \(4:1\)
2. \(1:1\)
3. \(1:4\)
4. \(2:1\)

The slits in Young's double-slit experiment have equal widths and the source is placed symmetrically relative to the slits. The intensity at the central fringe is \(I_0\). If one of the slits is closed, the intensity at this point will be:
1. \(I_0\)
2. \(\frac{I_0}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{I_0}{2}\)
4. \(4I_0\)
