In Young's double-slit experiment, the red light of wavelength 6000 A is used and the nth bright fringe is obtained at a point P on the screen. Keeping the same setting, the source of light is replaced by the green light of wavelength 5000 A and now (n+1)th bright fringe is obtained at the point P on the screen. The value of n is

A mixture of light consisting of wavelength 590 nm and an unknown wavelength illuminates Young's double-slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further, it is observed that the third bright fringe of known light coincides with the 4th bright fringe of the unknown light. From this data, the wavelength of the unknown light is
