Light of wavelength ',$$\lambda$$' is incident on a slit of width '$$\mathrm{d}$$'. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen at a distance '$$D$$'. The linear width of the principal maximum is then equal to the width of the slit if $$D$$ equals
In Young's double slit experiment, the wavelength of light used is '$$\lambda$$'. The intensity at a point is '$$\mathrm{I}$$' where path difference is $$\left(\frac{\lambda}{4}\right)$$. If $$I_0$$ denotes the maximum intensity, then the ratio $$\left(\frac{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{I}_0}\right)$$ is
$$\left(\sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\cos \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$
In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is $$2 \mathrm{~mm}$$. The separation between the $$13^{\text {th }}$$ bright fringe and the $$4^{\text {th }}$$ dark fringe from the centre of the screen on same side will be
A beam of unpolarized light passes through a tourmaline crystal A and then it passes through a second tourmaline crystal B oriented so that its principal plane is parallel to that of A. The intensity of emergent light is $$I_0$$. Now B is rotated by $$45^{\circ}$$ about the ray. The emergent light will have intensity $$\left(\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$$
