Swara Sharma answered |
Beta(central Maxima)=2lambda D(distance of the screen)/d(distance between slits).
beta=2m.
wavelength= 500nm=5×10^-7m.
d=0.1mm=1×10^-4m.
2=2×5×10^-7 D/10^-4.
1=5×10^-3 D .
1/5×10^-3=D .
1000/5=D.
200m=D
beta=2m.
wavelength= 500nm=5×10^-7m.
d=0.1mm=1×10^-4m.
2=2×5×10^-7 D/10^-4.
1=5×10^-3 D .
1/5×10^-3=D .
1000/5=D.

Effect of Immersing Young's Apparatus in Water on Fringe Width
When the Young's apparatus is immersed in water, the effect on the fringe width can be explained as follows:
1. Refractive Index of Water: Water has a higher refractive index than air. This means that light passing through water will be bent more than in air.
2. Path Difference: Path difference is the difference in the distance traveled by two waves from the source to the point where they interfere with each other. When the apparatus is immersed in water, the path difference between the two waves will change due to the change in refractive index.
3. Decrease in Fringe Width: As the path difference changes, the interference pattern will also change. The fringe width will decrease because the change in the path difference will cause the interference pattern to become more spread out.
4. Explanation: The fringe width is inversely proportional to the square root of the refractive index. Since the refractive index of water is higher than air, the fringe width will decrease when the apparatus is immersed in water.
Conclusion
In conclusion, when the Young's apparatus is immersed in water, the fringe width will decrease due to the change in refractive index, which leads to a change in the path difference and the interference pattern.

Transverse and longitudinal waves. Light and other types of electromagnetic radiation are transverse waves. Water waves and S waves (a type of seismic wave) are also transverse waves. In transverse waves, the vibrations are at right angles to the direction of travel.

Pooja Mehta answered |
If one illuminates two parallel slits, the light from the two slits again interferes. Here the interference is a more pronounced pattern with a series of alternating light and dark bands. ... He also proposed (as a thought experiment) that if detectors were placed before each slit, the interference pattern would disappear.

Maximum diffraction occurs when size of obstacle is almost equal to wavelength of light wave. Hence maximum diffraction occurs for larger wavelength . As wavelength of radio wave is higher than others, maximum diffraction will occur for it.

Hansa Sharma answered |
When the light is incident on a soap bubble of certain thickness it constructively interferes for wavefronts which are in phase to produce white light and when the wavefronts are out of phase, they undergo destructive interference to produce a series of colors. Thus, interference is the reason.

Therefore if monochromatic light in Young's interference experiment is replaced by white light, then the waves of each wavelength form their separate interference patterns. The resultant effect of all these patterns is obtained on the screen. i.e., the waves of all colours reach at mid point M in same phase we will see.a few coloured bands and then uniform illumination

∴ n1 λ1 = n2λ2
⇒ n1 × 12000 × 10–10 = n2 × 10000 × 10–10
or, n (12000 × 10–10) = (n + 1) (10000 × 10–10)
⇒n = 5
⇒ n1 × 12000 × 10–10 = n2 × 10000 × 10–10
or, n (12000 × 10–10) = (n + 1) (10000 × 10–10)
⇒n = 5
(∵ λ1 = 1200 x 10-10m; λ2 = 10000 x 10-10m)
(∵ d = 2 mm and D = 2m)
= 5 × 12 × 10–4 m

Also, if y is the minimum separation between two objects at distance D from eye then
θ = y/D
Here, wavelength λ = 5000Å = 5x10-7m
D = 50 m
Diameter of eye lens = 2 mm = 2x10-3 m
From eq. (1), minimum separation is
D = 50 m
Diameter of eye lens = 2 mm = 2x10-3 m
From eq. (1), minimum separation is
y = 5 * 10-7 * 50 / 2 * 10-3
y = 0.0125 m
y = 1.25 cm

If the speed will increase then the angular width of central maximum will decrease as speed is inversely proportional to wavelength, so as wavelength decreases the angular width also decreases.
angular width =wavelength/distance between the slits.
angular width =wavelength/distance between the slits.

Photoelectric effect shows particle nature of light as light consists of packets of energy called photons or quanta

We know that the colours for which the
condition of constructive interference is
satisfied are observed in a given region of the film. The path difference between the light waves reaching the eye changes when the position of the eye is changed. Therefore, colours appear on a thin soap film or soap bubbles due to the phenomenon of interference.
