In a biprism experiment,a steady interference pattern is observed on the screen using light of wavelength $\lambda_1 = 5000 \ Å$. Without disturbing the setup of the experiment,the source of light is replaced by a source of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 6400 \ Å$. The fringe width will:

$A$ thin film of water $(\mu = 4/3)$ is $3100 \,\mathring{A}$ thick. If it is illuminated by white light at normal incidence,the colour of the film in the reflected light will be:

$A$ ray of light of intensity $I$ is incident on a parallel glass slab at a point $A$ as shown in the figure. It undergoes partial reflection and refraction. At each reflection,$25\%$ of the incident energy is reflected. The rays $AB$ and $A^1B^1$ undergo interference. The ratio $I_{\text{max}} / I_{\text{min}}$ is (in $: 1$)
