Two thin parallel slits are made in an opaque screen. When a monochromatic beam of light passes through them at normal incidence,the first bright fringe in the transmitted light occurs at $\pm 45^{\circ}$ with the original direction of the light beam on a distant screen when the apparatus is in air. When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid,the same bright fringe now occurs at $\pm 30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the liquid is:

The maximum intensity of fringes in Young's experiment is $I$. If one of the slits is closed,then the intensity at that place becomes $I_o$. Which of the following relations is true?

The path difference between two interfering light waves meeting at a point on the screen is $\left(\frac{87}{2}\right) \lambda$. The band obtained at that point is

In a $YDSE$ apparatus,two identical slits are separated by $1\, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1\, m$. The wavelength of light used is $6000\, \mathring{A}$. The minimum distance between two points on the screen having $75\%$ intensity of the maximum intensity is ......$mm$.
