$A$ light source,which emits two wavelengths $\lambda_1=400 \ nm$ and $\lambda_2=600 \ nm$,is used in a Young's double slit experiment. If recorded fringe widths for $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are $\beta_1$ and $\beta_2$ and the number of fringes for them within a distance $y$ on one side of the central maximum are $m_1$ and $m_2$,respectively,then
$(A)$ $\beta_2 > \beta_1$
$(B)$ $m_1 > m_2$
$(C)$ From the central maximum,$3^{\text{rd}}$ maximum of $\lambda_2$ overlaps with $5^{\text{th}}$ minimum of $\lambda_1$
$(D)$ The angular separation of fringes for $\lambda_1$ is greater than $\lambda_2$

In a Young's double-slit experiment, the distance between two coherent sources is $0.90 \, mm$ and the distance from the sources to the screen is $1 \, m$. If the distance of the second bright fringe from the center of the central bright fringe is $1 \, mm$, find the wavelength of the light used.

In Young's double slit experiment,the $y$-coordinates of the central maxima and the $10^{th}$ maxima are $2 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. When the $YDSE$ apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$,what will be the corresponding $y$-coordinates?
