Two point monochromatic and coherent sources of light of wavelength $\lambda$ are placed on the dotted line in front of a large screen. The sources emit waves in phase with each other. The distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $d$,while their distance from the screen is much larger. Then,
$(1) \rightarrow$ If $d = 7\lambda / 2$,$O$ will be a minima.
$(2) \rightarrow$ If $d = 4.3\lambda$,there will be a total of $8$ minima on the $y$-axis.
$(3) \rightarrow$ If $d = 7\lambda$,$O$ will be a maxima.
$(4) \rightarrow$ If $d = \lambda$,there will be only one maxima on the screen.
Which is the set of correct statements?

  • A
    $1, 2$ and $3$

    $2, 3$ and $4$
  • C

$A$ screen receives $3 \ W$ of radiant flux of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring{A}.$ One lumen is equivalent to $1.5 \times 10^{-3} \ W$ of monochromatic light of wavelength $5550 \ \mathring{A}.$ If the relative luminosity for $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ is $0.685$ while that for $5550 \ \mathring{A}$ is $1.00,$ then the luminous flux of the source is:

In interference and diffraction, the light energy is redistributed. If it reduces in one region, producing a dark fringe, it increases in another region, producing a bright fringe. Statement $A$: As there is no gain or loss of energy, these phenomena are consistent with the principle of conservation of energy. Statement $B$: Diffraction and interference are characteristics exhibited only by light waves. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Statement $(S)$: Using Huygen's eye-piece,measurements can be taken but are not correct.
Reason $(R)$: The cross wires,scale,and final image are not magnified proportionately because the image of the object is magnified by two lenses,whereas the cross-wire scale is magnified by one lens only.
Identify the correct option from the following:

$A$ monochromatic light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is placed at $S$. Three slits $S_1, S_2$ and $S_3$ are equidistant from the source $S$ and the point $P$ on the screen. $S_1P - S_2P = \lambda / 6$ and $S_1P - S_3P = 2\lambda / 3$. If $I$ is the intensity at $P$ when only one slit is open,the intensity at $P$ when all the three slits are open is
