Light of wavelength passing through a double slit, produces interference pattern of relative intensity versus deflection angle as shown in the figure. Find the separation between the slits. If your answer is , fill the value of .

Two identical monochromatic light sources intensity produce wavelength of light . A glass of thickness is placed in the path of the ray as shown in figure. The glass has a variable refractive index where (in mm) is distance of plate from left to right. Calculate total intensity at focal point of the lens.

Two slits and on the -axis and symmetric with respect to y-axis are illuminated by a parallel monochromatic light beam of wavelength . The distance between the slits is . Point is the mid point of the line and this point is considered as the origin. The slits are in horizontal plane. The interference patten is observed on a horizontal plate (acting as screen) of mass , which is attached to one end of a vertical spring of spring constant . The other end of the spring is fixed to ground. At the plate is at a distance below the plane of slits and the spring is in its natural length. The plate is left from rest from its initial position. Find the and co-ordinates of the maxima on the plate as a function of time. Assume that spring is light and plate always remains horizontal.
