In two separate set-ups of the Young's double slit experiment,fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio $1:2$ are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is $2:1$,the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set-ups is

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits $1 \, mm$ apart with a light source $(\lambda = 632.8 \, nm)$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $100 \, cm$. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at a distance of $1.27 \, mm$ from the central bright fringe,then the path difference between the waves,which are reaching this point from the slits,is close to $.... \mu m$.

In a double-slit experiment using light of wavelength $600 \; nm$,the angular width of a fringe formed on a distant screen is $0.1^{\circ}$. What is the spacing between the two slits?

Young's double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $550 \, nm$. The separation between the slits is $1.10 \, mm$ and the screen is placed at a distance of $1 \, m$. What is the distance between consecutive bright or dark fringes in $mm$?

Minimum thickness of a mica sheet having $\mu = 3/2$ which should be placed in front of one of the slits in $YDSE$ is required to reduce the intensity at the centre of the screen to half of the maximum intensity is-
