In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ 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-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

In Young's double-slit experiment,a thin mica sheet of thickness $12 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. It is observed that the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,find the refractive index of the mica sheet.

In Young's double slit experiment,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 $\mu = 1.5$,what will be the corresponding $y$-coordinates?

The source that illuminates the double-slit in a 'double-slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 500\,nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 600\,nm$. Each wavelength produces its own interference pattern on the screen. At the central point,where the path difference is zero,the maxima of both patterns coincide. As one moves away from the central region,the two fringe systems gradually go out of step. The combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct when a maximum of one wavelength coincides with a minimum of the other. This happens when the path difference in $nm$ is:

The intensity of each source in Young's double slit experiment is $I_0$. The distance between the slits is $d = 5\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light used. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen (where the slit and screen are at a distance $D = 10d$)?
