Consider the figure (not drawn to scale) in which a converging lens of radius $R = 1 \ cm$ and focal length $f = 20 \ cm$ is cut in the middle. The upper part is lifted up by $d = 1 \ mm$ and the lower part is pulled down by the same distance. The gap between them is blocked by an opaque sheet. $A$ point light source with wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ is placed on the optical axis at a distance of $2f$ from the split lens. $A$ large screen is placed at $L = 1 \ m$ from the right focus of the lens. Find the approximate number of interference fringes on the screen.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the fringe width is found to be $0.4 \, mm$ when performed in air. If the entire apparatus is immersed in water,the new fringe width will be ........ (Refractive index of water $n = 4/3$).

$A$ double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $500\, nm$. $A$ thin film of thickness $2\, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will

$A$ thin glass plate of thickness $t = \frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits,the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is

In a Young's double slit experiment,each of the two slits $A$ and $B$,as shown in the figure,are oscillating about their fixed center with a mean separation of $0.8 \ mm$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d = (0.8 + 0.04 \sin \omega t) \ mm$,where $\omega = 0.08 \ rad \ s^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \ m$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000 \ \mathring A$. The interference pattern on the screen changes with time,while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.
$(1)$ The $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe above the point $O$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions,in micrometer $(\mu m)$,is. . . . .
$(2)$ The maximum speed in $\mu m/s$ at which the $8^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe will move is. . . . .

In Young's double slit arrangement,water is filled in the space between the screen and the slits. Then:
