Optics 6 Question 31

33. Column I shows four situations of standard Young’s double slit arrangement with the screen placed far away from the slits S1 and S2. In each of these cases S1P0=S2P0,S1P1S2P1=λ4 and S1P2S2P2=λ/2, where λ is the wavelength of the light used. In the cases B,C and D, a transparent sheet of refractive index μ and thickness t is pasted on slit S2. The thickness of the sheets are different in different cases. The phase difference between the light waves reaching a point P on the screen from the two slits is denoted by δ(P) and the intensity by I(P). Match each situation given in Column I with the statement(s) in Column II valid for that situation.

Objective Questions II (One or more correct option)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (A) (p,s) Intensity at P0 is maximum. It will continuously decrease from P0 towards P2

(B)(q) Path difference due to slap will be compensated by geometrical path difference. Hence, δ(P1)=0.

(C) (t)δ(P0)=λ2,δ(P1)=λ2λ4=λ4 and δ(P2)=λ2λ3=λ6. When path difference increases from 0 to λ2, intensity will decrease from maximum to zero. Hence, in this case,

I(P2)>I(P1)>I(P0)

(D) (r,s,t,

δ(P0)=3λ4,δ(P1)=3λ4λ4=λ2 and δ(P2)=3λ4λ3=5λ12.

In this case I(P1)=0.
