Assertion: In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits are at a distance $d$ apart. An interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$ from the slits. At a point on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits,a dark fringe is observed. Then,the wavelength of the wave is proportional to the square of the distance between the two slits.
Reason: For a dark fringe,the intensity is zero.

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 an interference experiment,interference fringes are observed on a screen when the chamber is filled with air. If the entire chamber is evacuated and observed carefully,then .....

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:

In a double-slit experiment,the distance between the slits is $d$. The screen is at a distance $D$ from the slits. If a bright fringe is formed opposite to one of the slits,its order $n$ is:
