The width of one of the two slits in a Young's double slit experiment is $4$ times that of the other slit. The ratio of the maximum to the minimum intensity in the interference pattern is: (in $: 1$)

In Young's double-slit experiment,the fringes are displaced by a distance $x$ when a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of one of the beams. When this plate is replaced by another plate of the same thickness,the shift of fringes is $(3/2)x$. The refractive index of the second plate is

In an interference pattern,the fringe width is $\beta$. If the frequency of the source is doubled,the fringe width becomes .....

In Young's double-slit experiment,a thin mica sheet of thickness $12 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. It is observed that the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,find the refractive index of the mica sheet.

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)
