Assertion: If the whole apparatuis of Young's experiement is immersed in liquid, the fringe width will decrease.

Reason: The wavelength of light in water is more than that in air.

The wavelength of a distant star is $5700\,\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ$ and the spectral light has a shift $1.9\,\,\mathop {\text{A}}\limits^ \circ$ towards red end then the velocity of star relative to earth will be:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.
Assertion A: An electron microscope can achieve better resolving power than an optical microscope.
Reason R: The de-Brogilie’s wavelength of the electrons emitted from an electron gun is much less than wavelength of visible light.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Assertion: One of the image in double refraction doesn't obey the principles of refraction.

Reason: Extraordinary image in double refraction doesn't obey the principles of refraction because its velocity changes with direction.

The intensity of gamma radiation from a given source is $I$. On passing through $36\;mm$ of lead, it is reduced to ${I/8}$. The thickness of lead which will reduce the intensity to ${I/2}$ will be

If the monochromatic source in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by white light, then

In Young’s double-slit experiment, an interference pattern is obtained on a screen by a light of wavelength ${6000\mathop \mathrm{A}\limits^ \circ }$, coming from the coherent sources ${S_1}\;and\;{S_2}$. At certain point $P$ on the screen third dark fringe is formed. Then the path difference ${S_1}P - {S_2}P$ in microns is

Assertion: No interference pattern is detected when two coherent sources are very close to each other. (i.e. separation almost zero).

Reason: The fringe width is inversely proportional to the distance between the two slits.

If the shift of wavelength of light emitted by a star is towards violet, then this shows that star is

Assertion : If white light is used is YDSE, then central bright fringe will be white.

Reason : Because all the wavelengths produce their zero order maxima at the same position

In an experiment similar to Young's experiment, interference is observed using waves associated with electrons. The electrons are being produced in an electron gun. In order to increase the fringe width-

In a Young’s experiment, one of the slits is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;cm$ due to which position of central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by ${30^{th}}$ fringe.
