$A$ parallel beam of light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a coated glass plate. If $25 \%$ of the incident light is reflected from the upper surface and $50 \%$ of the light that enters the glass is reflected from the lower surface of the glass plate, the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference region of the reflected light is

When white light is incident normally on an oil film of thickness $10^{-4} \,cm$ and refractive index $1.4$,the wavelength which will not be seen in the reflected system of light is ........... $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ ray of light of intensity $I$ is incident on a parallel glass slab at a point $A$ as shown in the figure. It undergoes partial reflection and refraction. At each reflection,$25\%$ of the incident energy is reflected. The rays $AB$ and $A^1B^1$ undergo interference. The ratio $I_{\text{max}} / I_{\text{min}}$ is (in $: 1$)

In a biprism experiment,a wavelength $\lambda$ is used to obtain an interference pattern. The fringe width is $W_1$ at a distance $D_1$ from the screen. When the screen is moved towards the biprism,the fringe width becomes $W_2$ at a distance $D_2$. The distance between the two virtual images of the slit is:
