In a double slit experiment,when light of wavelength $400 \; nm$ was used,the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away was found to be $0.2^{\circ}$. What will be the angular width of the first minima if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? $(\mu_{water} = 4/3)$

Monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen. When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index $= 1.5$), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the $4^{th}$ bright fringe. The thickness of the glass plate is ..................... $\mu m$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.

$A$ parallel beam of light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ is incident at an angle $30^o$ with the normal to the slit plane in a Young's double-slit experiment. The intensity due to each slit is $I_o$. Point $O$ is equidistant from $S_1$ and $S_2$. The distance between the slits is $1 \ mm$.

$A$ thin mica sheet of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in the path of the first wave. The wavelength of the wave used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The central bright maximum will shift:

Young's double slit experiment is conducted in a liquid of refractive index $\mu_1$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin transparent slab of refractive index $\mu_2$ and thickness $t$ is placed in front of the slit $S_2$. The magnitude of the optical path difference at point $O$ is
