In an interference arrangement similar to Young's double slit experiment,the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated with coherent microwave sources each of frequency $10^6 \ Hz$. The sources are synchronized to have zero phase difference. The slits are separated by distance $d = 150 \ m$. The intensity $I(\theta)$ is measured as a function of $\theta$,where $\theta$ is defined as shown. If $I_0$ is the maximum intensity,then $I(\theta)$ for $0 \le \theta \le 90^\circ$ is given by:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ 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-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

In the interference pattern of white light, what is the color of the bright fringe closest to the center?

The distance between two coherent sources is $0.1 \, mm$. The fringe-width on a screen $1.2 \, m$ away from the source is $6.0 \, mm$. The wavelength of light used is ......... $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ Young's double slit interference arrangement with slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is immersed in water (refractive index $\mu_w = 4/3$) as shown in the figure. The positions of maxima on the surface of water are given by $x^2 = p^2 m^2 \lambda^2 - d^2$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light in air (refractive index $\mu_a = 1$),$2d$ is the separation between the slits,and $m$ is an integer. The value of $p$ is
