$A$ light source,which emits two wavelengths $\lambda_1=400 \ nm$ and $\lambda_2=600 \ nm$,is used in a Young's double slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are $\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ and the number of fringes for them within a distance $y$ on one side of the central maximum are $m_1$ and $m_2$,respectively,then
$(A)$ $\beta_2 > \beta_1$
$(B)$ $m_1 > m_2$
$(C)$ From the central maximum,$3^{\text{rd}}$ maximum of $\lambda_2$ overlaps with $5^{\text{th}}$ minimum of $\lambda_1$
$(D)$ The angular separation of fringes for $\lambda_1$ is greater than $\lambda_2$

    $(A, B, C)$
  • B
    $(A, B, D)$
  • C
    $(A, C, D)$

For sustained interference fringes in a double-slit experiment,the essential condition$(s)$ is/are:
$1$. Sources must be coherent.
$2$. The intensities of the two sources must be equal.
Here,the correct option$(s)$ is/are:

The source that illuminates the double-slit in a 'double-slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 500\,nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 600\,nm$. Each wavelength produces its own interference pattern on the screen. At the central point,where the path difference is zero,the maxima of both patterns coincide. As one moves away from the central region,the two fringe systems gradually go out of step. The combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct when a maximum of one wavelength coincides with a minimum of the other. This happens when the path difference in $nm$ is:

In a Young's double-slit experiment, the distance between two coherent sources is $0.90 \, mm$ and the distance from the sources to the screen is $1 \, m$. If the distance of the second bright fringe from the center of the central bright fringe is $1 \, mm$, find the wavelength of the light used.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by $0.2 \text{ mm}$ and the screen is placed $2.0 \text{ m}$ away. The distance between the central bright fringe and the third bright fringe is measured to be $1.5 \text{ cm}$. Determine the wavelength of light used in the experiment.

In $Y.D.S.E.$,how many maxima can be obtained on the screen if the wavelength of light used is $200 \ nm$ and $d = 700 \ nm$?
