Question

(a) If the distance between the slits is halved in Young's experiment, the width of the central maximum is doubled. (b)The distance of the bright fringes from the central maximum must be dependent of color used to perform in Young's experiment. (c) In a single-slit diffraction experiment, as the width of the single slit is made smaller, the width of the central maximum diffraction becomes smaller. If the diffraction experiment is carried out in water using the same apparatus as in the air, the width of the central maximum in water is the larger than that in air. (e) When a light ray passes through a thin film with the index of refraction greater than that in air, the reflected ray from the surface between the air and film undergoes a quarter-wavelength phase change.

Explanation / Answer

Since nothing is instructed in the question, i assume that the question is asked to find out whether the given statements are true of false. So the answers are:

(a) True

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) False
