In a Young's double slit experiment,the fringe width will remain the same if ($D =$ distance between screen and plane of slits,$d =$ separation between two slits,and $\lambda =$ wavelength of light used).

Light of wavelength $6000 \, Å$ is incident on two slits. The distance between the slits is $0.1 \, cm$ and the screen is placed at a distance of $1 \, m$ from them. Find the angular position of the $10^{th}$ maximum in radians.

Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one metre away from the slits. The fringe width when light of wavelength $500 \,nm$ is used is

In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

The ratio of intensities at two points $P$ and $Q$ on the screen in a Young's double-slit experiment,where the phase differences between two waves of the same amplitude are $\pi / 3$ and $\pi / 2$ respectively,is:
