(A) Given: Slit separation $d = 2 \, mm = 2 	imes 10^{-3} \, m$,Screen distance $D = 2 \, m$,$\lambda_1 = 12000 	imes 10^{-10} \, m$,$\lambda_2 = 10000 	imes 10^{-10} \, m$.For bright fringes to coincide,the position $x$ must satisfy: $x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n_2 \lambda_2 D}{d}$.This implies $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$,or $\frac{n_1}{n_2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}$.Substituting the values: $\frac{n_1}{n_2} = \frac{10000}{12000} = \frac{5}{6}$.For the minimum distance,we take the smallest integers $n_1 = 5$ and $n_2 = 6$.Now,calculate $x$: $x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{5 	imes 12000 	imes 10^{-10} 	imes 2}{2 	imes 10^{-3}}$.$x = 5 	imes 12000 	imes 10^{-7} \, m = 60000 	imes 10^{-7} \, m = 6 	imes 10^{-3} \, m = 6 \, mm$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,a student observes $8$ fringes in a certain segment of the screen when a monochromatic light of $600 \ nm$ wavelength is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,then the number of fringes he would observe in the same region of the screen is:

In Young's double slit experiment,the slits are horizontal. The intensity at a point $P$ on the screen is $\frac{I_0}{4}$,where $I_0$ is the maximum intensity. If the distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $d = 2 \lambda$,then the value of $\theta$ is:

In Young's double slit experiment using sodium light $(\lambda_1 = 5898 \ \text{\AA})$, $92$ fringes are seen. If a light of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 5461 \ \text{\AA}$ is used instead, how many fringes will be seen in the same field of view?

In Young's double slit experiment,the intensity on the screen at a point where path difference is $\lambda$ is $K.$ What will be the intensity at the point where path difference is $\lambda /4$?
