State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.

In Young's double slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^\circ$ on a screen placed $1 \text{ m}$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \text{ nm}$. If the entire apparatus is immersed in water of refractive index $4/3$, the angular width of the fringe will be: (in $^\circ$)

Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque screen. When a monochromatic beam of light passes through them at normal incidence,the first bright fringe in the transmitted light occurs at $\pm 45^{\circ}$ with the original direction of the light beam on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid,the same bright fringe now occurs at $\pm 30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the liquid is:

In Young's double slit experiment,if the wavelength of the light used is doubled and the distance between the two slits is halved,the resultant fringe width becomes $n$ times the initial fringe width. Find the value of $n$.
