$A$ light source,which emits two wavelengths $\lambda_1=400 \ nm$ and $\lambda_2=600 \ nm$,is used in a Young's double slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are $\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ and the number of fringes for them within a distance $y$ on one side of the central maximum are $m_1$ and $m_2$,respectively,then
$(A)$ $\beta_2 > \beta_1$
$(B)$ $m_1 > m_2$
$(C)$ From the central maximum,$3^{\text{rd}}$ maximum of $\lambda_2$ overlaps with $5^{\text{th}}$ minimum of $\lambda_1$
$(D)$ The angular separation of fringes for $\lambda_1$ is greater than $\lambda_2$

In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is $0.35^{\circ}$ on a screen placed at $2\,m$ away for a particular wavelength of $450\,nm$. The angular width of the fringe,when the whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index $7/5$,is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ..............

The distance between two slits is $3 \ mm$ and the screen is placed at $2 \ m$ distance. When blue-green light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ is used, then the distance between two consecutive fringes will be (in $mm$)?

In Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,find the ratio $\frac{I}{I_0}$.

In $YDSE$,the distance between slits is increased $10$ times,whereas their distance from the screen is halved. Then,the fringe width:

In Young's double slit experiment,the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 \ mm$,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,and the distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 \ cm$. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^\circ$. To increase the fringe angular width to $0.21^\circ$ (with the same $\lambda$ and $D$),the separation between the slits needs to be changed to ...... $mm$.
