Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits $1 \, mm$ apart with a light source $(\lambda = 632.8 \, nm)$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $100 \, cm$. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at a distance of $1.27 \, mm$ from the central bright fringe,then the path difference between the waves,which are reaching this point from the slits,is close to $.... \mu m$.

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
