In an interference experiment,the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ $(n=0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots)$ coincides with the $m^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ $(m=1, 2, 3, \ldots)$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ is

  • A
    $\frac{m-1}{n}$
  • B
    $\frac{2m-1}{n}$
  • C
    $\frac{2m-1}{2n}$
  • D
    $\frac{2m+1}{2n}$

In Young's experiment,the distance between two slits is $d/3$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $3D$. The number of fringes in $1/3 \ m$ on the screen,formed by monochromatic light of wavelength $3\lambda$,will be

$A$ 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 $\lambda_2$

The graph shows the variation of fringe width $(X)$ versus the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits $(D)$ in Young's double-slit experiment (keeping other parameters constant,where $d$ is the distance between the slits). The wavelength of light used can be calculated as:

Two ideal slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are at a distance $d$ apart and are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$ passing through an ideal source slit $S$ placed on the line through $S_2$ as shown. The distance between the plane of the slits and the source slit is $D$. $A$ screen is held at a distance $D$ from the plane of the slits. The minimum value of $d$ for which there is darkness at $O$ is
