In Young's double-slit experiment,the distance between the two slits is $2 \times 10^{-3} \, m$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $2.5 \, m$. The wavelength of the light used ranges from $2000 \, \mathring{A}$ to $9000 \, \mathring{A}$. What wavelength (in $\mathring{A}$) will form a bright fringe at a distance of $10^{-3} \, m$ from the central maximum?

In a double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^{\circ}$ on a screen placed $1\, m$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600\, nm$. What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? Take the refractive index of water to be $4/3$.
