Prove the laws of reflection by using Huygens' principle. Or, In Young's double slit experiment, what is the effect on the interference pattern if, (i)The distance between the two slits is halved. (ii) The distance between the screen and the plane of slits is doubled. (iii) one of the slits is covered with translucent paper.

Answer»

Solution :Fringe width, `y = (D lambda)/(2d)`
(i) Distance 2d between the slits is halved, then y is DOUBLED.
(ii) Distance D between the screen and the PLANE of the slits is doubled, then again y is doubled.
(iii) Due to increase in the optical path for RAYS passing through the covered slit, the fringe PATTERN will be displaced SIDEWAYS.
