$A$ monochromatic light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is placed at $S$. Three slits $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ are equidistant from the source $S$ and the point $P$ on the screen. $S_1P - S_2P = \lambda / 6$ and $S_1P - S_3P = 2\lambda / 3$. If $I$ is the intensity at $P$ when only one slit is open,the intensity at $P$ when all the three slits are open is

The intensity of light from a continuously emitting laser source operating at $638 \,nm$ wavelength is modulated at $1 \,GHz$. The modulation is done by momentarily cutting the intensity off with a frequency of $1 \,GHz$. What is the farthest distance apart two detectors can be placed in the line of the laser light,so that they can see the portions of the same pulse simultaneously?
(Consider the speed of light in air $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \,m/s$)

Red light differs from blue light in its

$A$ laser beam is used for surgery because it can be...

What happens to the intensity of light from a bulb if the distance from the bulb is doubled? As a laser beam travels across the length of a room,its intensity essentially remains constant. What geometrical characteristic of $LASER$ beam is responsible for the constant intensity which is missing in the case of light from the bulb?

In the given figure,light of intensity $I$ is incident on a glass slab at point $A$ at an angle of incidence $\theta_1$. It undergoes partial reflection and partial refraction. At each reflection,$25\%$ of the incident energy is reflected. If interference occurs between the rays $AB$ and $A'B'$,then $I_{max}/I_{min} = \dots$ (in $: 1$)
