A beam of light of λ=600 nm from a distant source falls on a single slit 1 mm wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2 m away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is

A fringe width of a certain interference pattern is β=0.002 cm. What is the distance of 5th order minima from central maxima?

Two slits separated by a distance of 1 mm are illuminated with light of wavelength 4×10-7 m. The interference fringes are observed on a screen placed 1 m from the slits. The distance between the fourth dark and sixth bright fringe on the same side is equal to

In Young's double-slit experiment, slits are separated by 2 mm and the screen is placed at a distance of 1.2 m from the slits. Light consisting of two wavelengths 6500 A and 5200 A are used to obtain interference fringes. Then the separation between the fourth bright fringes of two different patterns produced by the two wavelength is

In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity at a point where the path difference is λ6 (λ being the wavelength of the light used) is I. If I0 denotes the maximum intensity, then II0 is equal to

If a transparent medium of refractive index μ=1.5 and thickness t=2.5×10-5 m is inserted in front of one of the slits of Young's double-slit experiment, how much will be the shift in the interference pattern? The distance between the slits is 0.5 mm and that between slits and screen is 100 cm.

Young's double-slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that 8th bright fringe in the medium lies where 5th dark fringe lies in the air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly

In Young's experiment, two coherent sources are placed 0.90 mm apart and the fringes are observed one metre away. If it produces the second dark fringe at a distance of 1 mm from the central fringe, the wavelength of monochromatic light used would be
