State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.

In Young's double-slit experiment,the two slits are $2 \, mm$ apart and are illuminated by a mixture of two wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 12000 \, \mathring{A}$ and $\lambda_2 = 10000 \, \mathring{A}$. At what minimum distance from the common central bright fringe on the screen will a bright fringe from one interference pattern coincide with a bright fringe from the other? The distance between the slits and the screen is $2 \, m$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,the ratio of the slit widths is $4 : 1$. The ratio of the intensity of maxima to minima,close to the central fringe on the screen,will be

In an interference experiment,the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ $(n=0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots)$ coincides with the $m^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe for light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ $(m=1, 2, 3, \ldots)$. The ratio $\frac{\lambda_1}{\lambda_2}$ is
