Explain Young's double-slit experiment,its experimental arrangement,and how it produces an interference pattern.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are $2 \, mm$ apart and are illuminated by a mixture of two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 7500 \, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 9000 \, \mathring{A}$. At what distance from the central maximum on a screen $2 \, m$ away will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other?

In a Young's double slit experiment,green light is incident on the two slits. The interference pattern is observed on a screen. Which of the following changes would cause the observed fringes to be more closely spaced?

$A$ Young's double slit interference arrangement with slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is immersed in water (refractive index $\mu_w = 4/3$) as shown in the figure. The positions of maxima on the surface of water are given by $x^2 = p^2 m^2 \lambda^2 - d^2$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light in air (refractive index $\mu_a = 1$),$2d$ is the separation between the slits,and $m$ is an integer. The value of $p$ is
