(N/A) The fringe width $(\beta)$ in Young's Double Slit Experiment is the distance between two consecutive bright or dark fringes.
It is given by the formula:
$\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$
Where:
$\lambda$ = Wavelength of the monochromatic light used.
$D$ = Distance between the slits and the screen.
$d$ = Distance between the two coherent sources (slits).

In a Young's double slit experiment,light of $500 \ nm$ is used to produce an interference pattern. When the distance between the slits is $0.05 \ mm$,the angular width (in degrees) of the fringes formed on the distant screen is close to $........^o$.

Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque screen. When a monochromatic beam of light passes through them at normal incidence,the first bright fringe in the transmitted light occurs at $\pm 45^{\circ}$ with the original direction of the light beam on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid,the same bright fringe now occurs at $\pm 30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the liquid is:

Assertion: In Young's double slit experiment,if the wavelength of incident monochromatic light is doubled,the number of bright fringes on the screen will increase.
Reason: The maximum number of bright fringes on the screen is directly proportional to the wavelength of light used.

The path difference between two interfering light waves meeting at a point on the screen is $\left(\frac{87}{2}\right) \lambda$. The band obtained at that point is

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.
