In Young's double slit experiment, two slits are illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$. The line joining $A_1P$ is perpendicular to $A_1A_2$. If the first minimum is detected at $P$, the value of slit separation '$a$' will be (where $D$ is the distance between the source and the screen):

Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ and $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

Two slits separated by $4\, mm$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $6000\,\mathring{A}$. What will be the fringe width on a screen placed $2\, m$ away from the slits? (in $mm$)

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the light beam consists of two wavelengths $6500 \, \mathring A$ and $5200 \, \mathring A$. The distance between the slits is $2 \, mm$ and the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $120 \, cm$. Find the distance of the third bright fringe from the central maximum for the wavelength $6500 \, \mathring A$ in $mm$.

$A$ mixture of light,consisting of wavelengths $590 \ nm$ and an unknown wavelength,illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further,it is observed that the $3^{rd}$ bright fringe of the known light coincides with the $4^{th}$ bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data,the wavelength of the unknown light is ...... $nm$.
