In a $YDSE$ with two identical slits,when the upper slit is covered with a thin,perfectly transparent sheet of mica,the intensity at the centre of the screen reduces to $75\%$ of the initial value. The second minimum is observed to be above this point and the third maximum below it. Which of the following cannot be a possible value of the phase difference caused by the mica sheet?

In a double slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In a two-slit experiment with monochromatic light,fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by $5 \times 10^{-2} \ m$ towards the slits,the change in fringe width is $3 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. If the separation between the slits is $10^{-3} \ m$,the wavelength of light used is ....... $\mathring{A}$.

The path difference between two interfering light waves meeting at a point on the screen is $\left(\frac{57}{2}\right) \lambda$. The band obtained at that point is

In a Young's double-slit experiment,two slits act as coherent sources of waves of equal wavelength $\lambda$ and amplitude $A$. In another experiment,the two slits are arranged to act as incoherent sources of waves of the same amplitude and wavelength. If the intensity at the central point of the screen in the first case is $I_1$ and in the second case is $I_2$,then the ratio $I_1/I_2$ is:
