What will be the effect on the interference fringes obtained in Young's double slit experiment if the monochromatic light is replaced by white light source?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

There will be a central white fringe with a few coloured fringes on both sides.

 a) The path difference to the central fringe is zero for all colours. Hence each colour produces a bright fringe here .As they overlap, a white fringe is formed.

b)  In white light ,there are different colours (Wavelengths).The fringe of one colour is slightly displaced from the fringe of other colours of the same order .Thus, the fringes of different colours do not exactly overlap.

In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.28mm and the screen is placed at a distance of 1.4m away from the slits. the distance between the centre fringe and the fifth dark fringe is measured to be 1.35cm . calculate the wavelength of light used. Also find the fringe width if the screen is moved 0.4m towards the slits, for the same experiment set up.

if separation between the two slits is increased till fringes are observed then what will happen to angular separation of fringes (my thought is here  fringes are not observed  and they are increasing till fringes show up ...so until then what will happen to angular width if we increase d-slit separation..does angular width increases or remains same

We for equal wave intensities the intensity at a point is given by straight I to the power of apostrophe equals 4 Icos squared open parentheses straight ϕ over 2 close parentheses but where does the formula straight I to the power of apostrophe equals Icos squared open parentheses straight ϕ over 2 close parentheses come from??
