Two identical narrow slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $\lambda$ from a point source $P$. If,as shown in the diagram,the light is then allowed to fall on a screen,and if $n$ is a positive integer,the condition for destructive interference at $Q$ is that

In Young's double slit experiment,$62$ fringes are seen in the visible region for sodium light of wavelength $5893 \ \mathring{A}$. If violet light of wavelength $4358 \ \mathring{A}$ is used in place of sodium light,then the number of fringes seen will be:

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the slits are placed $0.320 \, mm$ apart. Light of wavelength $\lambda = 500 \, nm$ is incident on the slits. The total number of bright fringes that are observed in the angular range $-30^\circ \le \theta \le 30^\circ$ is:
