In the figure, Young's double-slit experiment is shown. $Q$ is the position of the first bright fringe on the right side of $O$. $P$ is the $11^{th}$ fringe on the other side, as measured from $Q$. If the wavelength of the light used is $6000 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$, then $S_1B$ will be equal to:

Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding interference fringes?

In a Young's double slit experiment,$12$ fringes are observed to be formed in a certain segment of the screen when light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is used. If the wavelength of light is changed to $400 \ nm$,the number of fringes observed in the same segment of the screen is:

$A$ double slit interference experiment performed with a light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ forms an interference fringe pattern on a screen with $10^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe having its centre at a distance of $10 \ mm$ from the central maximum. The distance of the centre of the same $10^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe from the central maximum when the source of light is replaced by another source of wavelength $660 \ nm$ would be . . . . . . $mm$.

$A$ 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 $\lambda_2$
