Two slits are made one millimetre apart and the screen is placed one metre away. What is the fringe separation (in $mm$) when blue-green light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used?

$A$ Young's double slit experiment uses a monochromatic source. The shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen is

In a $YDSE$,light of two different wavelengths $(\lambda_1, \lambda_2)$ is incident normal to the plane of slits. The $n^{th}$ maxima of $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $m^{th}$ maxima of $\lambda_2$ exactly in front of one of the slits. Given $D = 1.5 \ m$,$d = 3 \ mm$,and $4500 \ \mathring{A} < \lambda_1, \lambda_2 < 7000 \ \mathring{A}$,then $n, m$ and $\lambda_1$ are:

What happens to the fringe width in Young's double-slit experiment if it is performed in glycerine instead of air?

In the Young's double-slit experiment, the spacing between two slits is $0.1 \, mm$. If the screen is kept at a distance of $1.0 \, m$ from the slits and the wavelength of light is $5000 \, \mathring{A}$, then the fringe width is ........ $cm$.
