Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding interference fringes?

In a Young's double slit experiment,the separation between the slits is $0.15 \; mm$. In the experiment,a source of light of wavelength $589 \; nm$ is used and the interference pattern is observed on a screen kept $1.5 \; m$ away. The separation between the successive bright fringes on the screen is $...... \; mm$. (in $.9$)

In $YDSE$,let $S_1$ and $S_2$ be the two slits,and $C$ be the centre of the screen. If $\angle S_1 C S_2 = \theta$ and $\lambda$ is the wavelength,the fringe width is

In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits act as coherent sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$. In another experiment with the same setup,the two slits are sources of equal amplitude $A$ and wavelength $\lambda$ but are incoherent. The ratio of the intensity of light at the midpoint of the screen in the first case to that in the second case is:

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths $6500 \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \mathring{A}$ is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double-slit experiment. The distance between slits is $2 \text{ mm}$ and the distance of the screen from the slits is $120 \text{ cm}$. What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both wavelengths coincide (in $\text{ cm}$)?
