Question

#8 Interference phenomena Coherent light strikes a two slit arrangement, and alternating bright and dark fringes are produced on a screen far from the slits. The bright fringes are due to the fact that O A. The path lengths of rays coming from the slits differ by half a wavelength. O B. The path lengths ofrays coming from the slits differ by a full wave length. C. The path lengths of rays coming from the slits differ by one and a half wavelengths. D. The path lengths of rays coming from the slits differ by two and a half wavelenghts. #9 Interference phenoinena Coherent light strikes a two slit arrangement, and alternating bright and dark fringes are produced on a screen far from the slits. The dark fringes are due to the fact that 0 A. The path lengths of rays coming from the slits differ by half a wavelength. O B. The path lengths of rays coming from the slits differ by a full wavelength. imu from the slits are identical.

Explanation / Answer

8)

for bright fringe,

path difference = n*wavelength

where n can be 0,1,2,3….

for dark fringe,

path difference = (n+1/2)*wavelength

where n can be 0,1,2,3….

Answer: B
