1. Green light of wavelength 5700Ao from a narrow slit is incident on a double slit. If the overall
separation of 10 fringes on a screen 200 cm away is 2 cm, find the slit separation.
2. Two coherent sources are 0.18 mm apart and the fringes are observed on a screen 80 cm away. It is
found that with a certain monochromatic source of light, the fourth bright fringe is situated at a
distance of 10.8 mm from the central fringe. Calculate the wavelength of light.
3. In Young’s double slit experiment the separation of the slits is 1.9 mm and the fringe spacing is 0.31
mm at a distance of 1 meter from the slits. Calculate the wavelength of light.
4. A light source emits light of two wavelengths and . The source is used
in a double slit interference experiment. The distance between the sources and the screen is 1.5 m and
the distance between the slits is 0.025 mm. Calculate the separation between the third order bright
fringes due to these two wavelengths.
5. Two coherent sources of monochromatic light of wavelength 6000Ao produce an interference pattern
on a screen kept at a distance of 1 m from them. The distance between two consecutive bright fringes
on the screen is 0.5 mm. Find the distance between the two coherent sources.
6. In Young’s double slit experiment the separation of the slits is 0.19 mm and fringes formed on the
screen held at a distance of 20 m from the slits. The 2nd dark fringe is situated at a distance 10 cm
from the central fringe. Calculate the wavelength of light.
7. In a Newton's rings experiment the diameter of the 15th ring was found to be 0.590 cm and that of the
5th ring was 0.336 cm. If the radius of the plano-convex lens is 100 cm, calculate the wavelength of
light used.
8. In a Newton's rings experiment, find the radius of curvature of the lens surface in contact with the
glass plate when with a light of wavelength 5890×10-8 cm, the diameter of the third dark ring is 3.2
mm. The light is falling at such an angle that it passes through the air film at an angle of zero degree
to the normal.
9. In a two slit interference pattern at a point we observe 10th order maxima for =7000Ao. What order
will be visible here if the source of light is replaced by light of =5000Ao?
10. A plano–convex lens of radius 3 m is placed on an optically flat glass plate and is illuminated by
monochromatic light. The radius of the 8th dark ring is 3.6 mm. Calculate the wavelength of light
used.
11. In Newton’s rings experiment the diameter of certain order of dark ring is measured to be double that
of 5th ring. What is the order of the ring?
12. Three light waves combine at a certain point where their electric field components are
and Find their resultant component E(t)
at that point and express the resultant wave.
