In a Youngs double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is d and the wavelength of the
light is . The intensity of light falling on slit 1 is four times the intensity of light falling on slit 2. Choose
the correct choice(s).
(A) If d = , the screen will contain only one maximum
(B) If < d < 2, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the
screen
(C) If the intensity of light falling on slit 1 is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit 2, the
intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
(D) If the intensity of light falling on slit 2 is increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit 1, the
intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
[Ans.A,B ]
Sol.
x=d
x=0
x=d
Now when d =
x = at on above side and x = at on below side. So there are three maxima. One at centre and
two are at infinite however screen can't be of infinite size so option A is correct.
x=d=1.9
x = 0
x = d=1.9
< d < 2
say d = 1.9
Three maxima are possible as shown the path difference for these maxima are zero, and .
So option B is correct.

In an insulated vessel, 0.05 kg steam at 373 K and 0.45 kg of ice at 253 K are mixed. Then, find the final
temperature of the mixture.
Given, Lfusion = 80 cal/g = 336 J/g, Lvaporization = 540 cal/g = 2268 J/g,
Sice = 2100 J/kg K = 0.5 cal/gK and Swater = 4200 J/kg K = 1 cal /gK
