Physics Wave Optics JEE (Advanced) / IIT - JEE Problems ( Previous Years ) MCQ (Single Correct)

While conducting the Young's double slit experiment, a student replaced to two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources (S 1 , S 2 ) emitting light of wavelength 600 nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (for z > 0) at a distance D = 3 m from the mid-point of S 1 S 2 , as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d = 0.6003 mm. The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining S 1 S 2 . Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen ?

A
Semi circular bright and dark bands centered at point O
B
Hyperbolic bright and dark bands with foci symmetrically placed about O in the x-direction
C
The region very close to the point O will be dark
D
Straight bright and dark bands parallel to the x-axis

(a,c)

Sol. from theory fringes will be semi circular

and

at 0 Δ x =

so at 0 it will be dark
