To prepare a print,the time taken is $5\, sec$ due to a lamp of $60\, W$ at a $0.25\, m$ distance. If the distance is increased to $40\, cm$,what is the time taken to prepare the similar print in seconds?

Two point monochromatic and coherent sources of light of wavelength $\lambda$ are placed on the dotted line in front of a large screen. The sources emit waves in phase with each other. The distance between $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $d$,while their distance from the screen is much larger. Then,
$(1) \rightarrow$ If $d = 7\lambda / 2$,$O$ will be a minima.
$(2) \rightarrow$ If $d = 4.3\lambda$,there will be a total of $8$ minima on the $y$-axis.
$(3) \rightarrow$ If $d = 7\lambda$,$O$ will be a maxima.
$(4) \rightarrow$ If $d = \lambda$,there will be only one maxima on the screen.

What happens to the intensity of light from a bulb if the distance from the bulb is doubled? As a laser beam travels across the length of a room,its intensity essentially remains constant. What geometrical characteristic of $LASER$ beam is responsible for the constant intensity which is missing in the case of light from the bulb?
