In Young's double slit experiment,the distance between the two slits is $0.1 \,mm$,the distance between the slits and the screen is $1 \,m$ and the wavelength of the light used is $600 \,nm$. The intensity at a point on the screen is $75 \%$ of the maximum intensity. Find the smallest distance in $mm$ of this point from the central fringe.

Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ and $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)

In Young's double slit experiment,if the wavelength of the light used is doubled and the distance between the two slits is halved,the resultant fringe width becomes $n$ times the initial fringe width. Find the value of $n$.

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 source that illuminates the double-slit in a 'double-slit interference experiment' emits two distinct monochromatic waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 500\,nm$ and $\lambda_2 = 600\,nm$. Each wavelength produces its own interference pattern on the screen. At the central point,where the path difference is zero,the maxima of both patterns coincide. As one moves away from the central region,the two fringe systems gradually go out of step. The combined fringe system becomes completely indistinct when a maximum of one wavelength coincides with a minimum of the other. This happens when the path difference in $nm$ is:
