In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.

In an interference pattern,the fringe width is $\beta$. If the frequency of the source is doubled,the fringe width becomes .....

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: If Young's double slit experiment is performed in an optically denser medium than air,then the consecutive fringes come closer.
Reason $(R)$: The speed of light reduces in an optically denser medium than air while its frequency does not change.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

In an interference experiment,the spacing between successive maxima or minima is

Assertion: In Young's experiment,the fringe width for dark fringes is different from that for bright fringes.
Reason: In Young's double slit experiment,if the fringes are performed with a source of white light,then only black and bright fringes are observed.
