In Young's double slit experiment,if the wavelength of the light used is doubled and the distance between the two slits is halved,the resultant fringe width becomes $n$ times the initial fringe width. Find the value of $n$.

In a Young's double slit experiment,the intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{6}$ ($\lambda$ being the wavelength of the light used) is $I$. If $I_0$ denotes the maximum intensity,$I/I_0$ is equal to

$A$ beam of light consisting of wavelengths $650 \ nm$ and $550 \ nm$ illuminates the Young's double slits with separation of $2 \ mm$ such that the interference fringes are formed on a screen,placed at a distance of $1.2 \ m$ from the slits. The least distance of a point from the central maximum,where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide,is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-5} \ m$.

Two parallel slits $0.6 \,mm$ apart are illuminated by a light source of wavelength $6000 \,\mathring{A}$. The distance between two consecutive dark fringes on a screen $1 \,m$ away from the slits is:
