In an interference experiment,the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ $(n=0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots)$ coincides with the $m^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ $(m=1, 2, 3, \ldots)$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{m-1}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{2m-1}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{2m-1}{2n}$
  • D
    $\frac{2m+1}{2n}$

In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In $YDSE$,the $Y$-coordinates of the central maxima and the $10^{th}$ maxima are $2 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. When the $YDSE$ apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.5$,what will be the corresponding $Y$-coordinates?

In Young's experiment,the separation between the $5^{\text{th}}$ maxima and the $3^{\text{rd}}$ minima is how many times the fringe width?

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ In Young's double slit experiment,the fringes produced by red light are closer as compared to those produced by blue light.
Reason $(R) :$ The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength of light.
In the light of above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below $:$

Statement-$1$: If white light is used in $YDSE$,then the central bright fringe will be white.
Statement-$2$: In the case of white light used in $YDSE$,all the wavelengths produce their zero-order maxima at the same position.
