In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is $d$ and the wavelength of the light is $\lambda$. The intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is four times the intensity of light falling on slit $2$. Choose the correct choice(s).
$(A)$ If $d = \lambda$, the screen will contain only one maximum
$(B)$ If $\lambda < d < 2\lambda$, at least one more maximum (besides the central maximum) will be observed on the screen
$(C)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $1$ is reduced so that it becomes equal to that of slit $2$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase
$(D)$ If the intensity of light falling on slit $2$ is increased so that it becomes equal to that of slit $1$, the intensities of the observed dark and bright fringes will increase

The intensity of each source in Young's double slit experiment is $I_0$. The distance between the slits is $d = 5\lambda$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light used. What will be the intensity of light in front of one of the slits on a screen (where the slit and screen are at a distance $D = 10d$)?

In which of the following is the interference due to the division of wave front?

In Young's double slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^\circ$ on a screen placed $1 \text{ m}$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \text{ nm}$. If the entire apparatus is immersed in water of refractive index $4/3$, the angular width of the fringe will be: (in $^\circ$)

In Young's double-slit experiment,the angular width of the fringes formed on the screen is $\pi / 200$. If light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring{A}$ is used,find the distance between the slits.

In the Young's double slit experiment,the distance between the slits varies in time as $d(t) = d_{0} + a_{0} \sin \omega t$; where $d_{0}$,$\omega$,and $a_{0}$ are constants. The difference between the largest fringe width and the smallest fringe width obtained over time is given as:
