The distance between two slits is $3 \ mm$ and the screen is placed at $2 \ m$ distance. When blue-green light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ is used, then the distance between two consecutive fringes will be (in $mm$)?

In a Young's double-slit experiment,white light is used. The distance between the two slits is $b$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $d$ (where $d >> b$). At the point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits,certain wavelengths are missing. Some of the missing wavelengths are: $(1) \lambda = b^2/d$,$(2) \lambda = 2b^2/d$,$(3) \lambda = b^2/3d$,$(4) \lambda = 2b^2/3d$.

In two separate set-ups of the Young's double slit experiment,fringes of equal width are observed when lights of wavelengths in the ratio $1:2$ are used. If the ratio of the slit separation in the two cases is $2:1$,the ratio of the distances between the plane of the slits and the screen in the two set-ups is

In Young's double-slit experiment,which of the following phenomena occur?

In a Young's double slit experiment,the source $S$ and the two slits $A$ and $B$ are vertical,with slit $A$ above slit $B$. The fringes are observed on a vertical screen $K$. The optical path length from $S$ to $B$ is increased very slightly (by introducing a transparent material of higher refractive index) and the optical path length from $S$ to $A$ is not changed. As a result,the fringe system on $K$ moves:
