Consider the following statements in case of Young’s double slit experiment. a) A slit S is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light. b) A slit S is not needed if we use an ordinary but well collimated beam of light. c) A slit S is not needed if we use a spatially coherent source of light Which of the above statements are correct?

Consider the following statements in case of Young’s double slit experiment. a) A slit S is necessary if we use an ordinary extended source of light. b) A slit S is not needed if we use an ordinary but well collimated beam of light. c) A slit S is not needed if we use a spatially coherent source of light Which of the above statements are correct? Correct Answer a), b) and c)

CONCEPT: 

  • Interference: The combination of two or more electromagnetic waveforms to form a resultant wave that may have greater, lower, or the same amplitude is called interference.
  • YDSE (Young’s Double Slit Experiment): If a monochromatic light falls on two narrow slits which are very close to each other act as coherent source superpose each other and an interference pattern is observed on the screen.

  • Condition for Obtaining Clear and Broad Interference Bands
    • The screen should be far away from the source.
    • The wavelength of light used must be larger.
    • The two coherent sources should be very close.
    • Two sources of light must be of the same frequency.
    • The amplitude of interfering light waves must be the same.

EXPLANATION:​​​

  • In order to obtain the interference pattern, the light source should be coherent.
  • The coherent source can be produced in all three manners.
  • An extended source of light placed behind the slit will produce light of different wavelengths. The slit will convert it to coherent light.
  • A well-collimated beam of light has a constant frequency and wavelength and therefore, it is used as a coherent source.

  • If the source is itself coherent, then no slit is required for the interference of light.

  • So, option (1),(2)and(3) are correct.

  • So the correct answer is option 1.
