Two coherent plane light waves of equal amplitude make a small angle $\alpha (\alpha \ll 1)$ with each other. They fall almost normally on a screen. If $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light waves,the fringe width $\Delta x$ of the interference pattern of the two sets of waves on the screen is:

Two coherent sources whose intensity ratio is $64: 1$ produce interference fringes. The ratio of intensities of maxima and minima is

$A$ beam with wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a stack of partially reflecting planes with separation $d$. The angle $\theta$ that the beam should make with the planes so that the beams reflected from successive planes may interfere constructively is (where $n = 1, 2, \dots$)
