Why narrow slits are taken in Young's double slit interference experiment?
to provide sufficient diffraction.
What color is next to white and what is the farthest from white in the interference pattern when a source of white light is used in Young's Double Slit experiment?
I think the farthest color next to white is red
How did young achieve the condition of phase coherence in young double slit experiment?
In Young type double slit experiment, two phase coherent spherical waves are created by passing a plane wave (e.g. laser light)
Which properties of light defines light as a wave?
It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.
How are the two coherent sources obtained in the young double slit experiment?
By splitting what is originally a single beam of light.
Why narrow slits are taken in Young's double slit interference experiment?

What happens when a third slit is introduced in Young's double slit experiment?
Born's rule predicts that interference patterns from three or more slits is equivalent to combining the effects of several double slit experiments. This rule was validated in an experiment done at the University of Waterloo in 2010.
Is the fresnel biprism experiment better than young's double slit experiment?
yes,because in fresnel biprism the fringe width can be increased so that the dark and bright fringes can be seen clearly by naked eyes..but there is no such problem in fresnel biprism.. in young's double slit experiment, the pattern is the superposition of interference and diffraction. but in fresnel biprism it is purely interference pattern.

Is interference a special case of diffraction or diffraction is a special case of interference?
neither is the case since diffraction involves the bending of waves upon contact or lack thereof of a physical boundary. a double slit experiment works on the basis of diffraction and also forms a distinctive interference pattern so in this case the two are related and the diffraction causes the interference but isn't necessarily a case of interference.
What is the equation in the double slit experiment?
The equation is: nλ=d(x/l) where: n is Order of maxima λ is wavelength d is slit separation x is fringe separation l is distance from screen to double slit
What was the eventual conclusion to the double slit experiment?
That both photons AND electrons exhibit interference patterns when they have a choice of slits to go through, even if these particles leave the emitter and hit the detector one at a time. It is as if the particles are interfering with themselves.
Which properties of light defines light as a wave?
It can be reflected, refracted and polarised. It also shows the phenomenon of interference. (Young's double slit experiment) The above are the properties of waves. Light shows these properties and thus, this defines light as a wave.
In double slit interference for a wavelength of 500nm the path length difference between the two waves for the second constructive interference fringe is?
1 micrometer (1,000 nm)
What condition determines the point at which the first maximum on either side of the central maximum is located in a double-slit interference pattern?
The difference in paths from each slit to that point is a single wavelength.
What kind of experiment might an physicist perform?
Maybe the double slit experiment in an attempt to solve the standing mystery of wave-particle duality of electrons.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-slit_experiment
