$A$ 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 double slit experiment,the distance between slits is increased $10$ times,whereas their distance from the screen is halved. The fringe width:

In Young's double-slit experiment,both slits are illuminated by a laser beam and the interference pattern was observed on a screen. If the viewing screen is moved farther from the slit,what happens to the interference pattern?

In a Young's double-slit experiment,two slits are separated by a distance of $3 \, mm$ and are illuminated by light of wavelength $480 \, nm$. The screen is at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the plane of the slits. Find the separation between the $8^{th}$ bright fringe and the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe with respect to the central fringe.

Two coherent sources $P$ and $Q$ produce interference at point $A$ on the screen,where a dark band is formed between the $4^{\text{th}}$ and $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band. The wavelength of light used is $6000 \text{ Å}$. The path difference between $PA$ and $QA$ is:

$A$ Young's double-slit experimental setup is immersed in water of refractive index $1.33$. It has a slit separation of $1 \ mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $1.33 \ m$. If the wavelength of incident light on the slits is $6300 \ \mathring{A}$,then the fringe width on the screen is:
