Q36.The width of one of the two slits in Young's double slit experiment is d while that of the other slit is x d. If the ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern on the screen is 9 : 4 then what is the value of x ? (Assume that the field strength varies according to the slit width.) (1) 4 (2) 5 (3) 3 (4) 2

What This Question Tests

9.6 A prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. A parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be 40°. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is 60°. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index 1.33), predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.
