$A$ Young's double-slit experiment is performed using monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$. The intensity of light at a point on the screen,where the path difference is $\lambda$,is $K$ units. The intensity of light at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ is given by $\frac{nK}{12}$,where $n$ is an integer. The value of $n$ is $......$

The figure shows a double slit experiment where $P$ and $Q$ are the slits. The path lengths $PX$ and $QX$ are $n\lambda$ and $(n + 2)\lambda$ respectively,where $n$ is a whole number and $\lambda$ is the wavelength. Taking the central fringe as zero,what is formed at $X$?

In Young's double slit experiment,the distance between slits and the screen is $1.0\,m$ and monochromatic light of $600\,nm$ is being used. $A$ person standing near the slits is looking at the fringe pattern. When the separation between the slits is varied,the interference pattern disappears for a particular distance $d_0$ between the slits. If the angular resolution of the eye is $\frac{1}{60}^o,$ the value of $d_0$ is close to......$mm$

In a Young's double slit experiment,the source $S$ and the two slits $A$ and $B$ are vertical,with slit $A$ above slit $B$. The fringes are observed on a vertical screen $K$. The optical path length from $S$ to $B$ is increased very slightly (by introducing a transparent material of higher refractive index) and the optical path length from $S$ to $A$ is not changed. As a result,the fringe system on $K$ moves:

In an interference experiment,the spacing between successive maxima or minima is (where the symbols have their usual meanings):
