Assertion [A]: For best contrast between maxima and minima in the interference pattern of Young's double slit experiment the intensity of light emerging out of the two slits should be equal.

Reason [R]: The intensity of interference pattern is proportional to the square of the amplitude.

Using monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$, an experimentalist sets up the Young's double slit experiment in three ways as shown.
If she observes that $y={\beta }^{\prime }$, the wavelength of light used is :

 

A parallel beam of light is incident on a tank filled with water up to a height of $61.5 \mathrm{mm}$ as shown in the figure below. Ultrasonic waves of frequency $0.5 \mathrm{MHz}$ are sent along the length of the water column using a transducer placed at the top, and they form longitudinal standing waves in the water. Which of the schematic plots below best describes the intensity distribution of the light as seen on the screen? Take the speed of sound in water to be $1,500 \mathrm{m} {\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$.
