In Young’s double-slit experiment, the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ. In another experiment with the same set up, the two slits are of equal amplitude A and wavelength λ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the mid-point of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

(1) 1 : 2

(2) 2 : 1

(3) 4 : 1

(4) 1 : 1

A monochromatic beam of light falls on the YDSE apparatus at some angle (say θ) as shown in the figure. A thin sheet of glass is inserted in front of the lower slit S2. The central bright fringe (path difference = 0) will be obtained:

(1) At O

(2) Above O

(3) Below O

(4) Anywhere depending on angle θ, the thickness of plate t and refractive index of glass μ
