While conducting the Young's double-slit experiment, a student replaced two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources (S1, S2) emitting light of wavelength 600 nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (z> 0) at a distance D= 3 m from the mid-point of S1S2, as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d=0.6003 mm. The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining S1S2. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?

Two coherent monochromatic point sources S1 and S2 of wavelength λ= 600 nm are placed symmetrically on either side of the center of the circle as shown. The sources are separated by a distance d= 1.8 mm. This arrangement produces interference fringes visible as alternate bright and dark spots on the circumference of the circle. The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots is θ. Which of the following options is/are correct?

In Young's double-slit experiment, the distance between slits is d = 0.25 cm and the distance of the screen D = 120 cm from the slits. If the wavelength of light used is λ=6000 A° and I0 is the intensity of central maximum, then the minimum distance of the point from the centre, where the intensity is I02 is k×10-5 m. What is the value of k?
