Two point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ separated by a distance $10 \mu m$ emit light waves of wavelength $4 \mu m$ in phase. $A$ circular wire of radius $40 \mu m$ is placed around the sources as shown in the figure,where $O$ is the centre of the circle and $OS_1 = OS_2$. Then:

Which characteristic of light determines its color?

Two waves of intensity ratio $1:9$ cross each other at a point. The resultant intensities at the point are $I_1$ when the waves are incoherent and $I_2$ when the waves are coherent with a phase difference of $60^{\circ}$. If $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{10}{x}$,then $x = . . . . . . . . . . .$

If the distance between a point source and a screen is doubled,then the intensity of light on the screen will become:

Path difference between two light waves at a point $P$ for constructive interference will be
