In Young's double-slit experiment,a thin mica sheet of thickness $12 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. It is observed that the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,find the refractive index of the mica sheet.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the light beam consists of two wavelengths $6500 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \, \mathring{A}$. The distance between the slits is $2 \, mm$ and the distance between the plane of the slits and the screen is $120 \, cm$. What is the minimum distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes of both wavelengths coincide (in $, cm$)?

In Young's double-slit experiment,an interference pattern is obtained on a screen by light of wavelength $6000 \ \mathring A$,coming from coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$. At a certain point $P$ on the screen,the third dark fringe is formed. Then the path difference $S_1P - S_2P$ in microns is:

Two slits separated by $0.5 \,mm$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $500 \,nm$. The screen is at a distance of $120 \,cm$ from the slits. The phase difference between the interfering waves at a point $3 \,mm$ on the screen from the central bright fringe is ........... .

In Young's double-slit experiment,when two light waves form the third minimum,they have:
