In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slit separation is $0.589 \, mm$ using sodium light. What is the angular separation between the third maximum and the central maximum? $(\lambda = 589 \, nm)$

Light of wavelength $520\, nm$ passing through a double slit produces an interference pattern of relative intensity versus deflection angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The separation $d$ between the slits is

In Young's double slit experiment,how many maximas can be obtained on a screen (including the central maximum) on both sides of the central fringe if $\lambda = 2000\,{\mathring A}$ and $d = 7000\,{\mathring A}$?

In Young's double-slit experiment,a monochromatic light source is used to illuminate slits $S_1$ and $S_2$. An interference pattern is obtained on the screen with a fringe width of $w$. If a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the new fringe width $w'$ becomes:

In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is found to be $0.2^{\circ}$ on a screen placed $1 \; m$ away. The wavelength of light used is $600 \; nm$. What will be the angular width of the fringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water (in $^{\circ}$)? Take the refractive index of water to be $4/3$.
