Assertion: In Young's double slit experiment,the two slits are at a distance $d$ apart. An interference pattern is observed on a screen at a distance $D$ from the slits. At a point on the screen directly opposite to one of the slits,a dark fringe is observed. Then,the wavelength of the wave is proportional to the square of the distance between the two slits.
Reason: For a dark fringe,the intensity is zero.

In Young's double-slit experiment,the fringe width on the screen is $0.2 \, mm$. If the wavelength of the light used is increased by $10\%$ and the distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is also increased by $10\%$,the new fringe width will be ....... $mm$.

Two slits separated by $4\, mm$ are illuminated by light of wavelength $6000\,\mathring{A}$. What will be the fringe width on a screen placed $2\, m$ away from the slits? (in $mm$)

In an interference pattern,the $(n + 4)^{th}$ order blue bright fringe and the $n^{th}$ order red bright fringe coincide at a point. If the wavelengths of red and blue light are $7800 \, \mathring{A}$ and $5200 \, \mathring{A}$ respectively,then the value of $n$ is . . . . . .

$A$ beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, $650\; nm$ and $520\; nm$, is used to obtain interference fringes in a Young's double-slit experiment.
$(a)$ Find the distance of the third bright fringe on the screen from the central maximum for wavelength $650\; nm$.
$(b)$ What is the least distance from the central maximum where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide?
