In Young's double slit experiment,the $8^{th}$ maximum with wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is at a distance ${d_1}$ from the central maximum and the $6^{th}$ maximum with a wavelength ${\lambda _2}$ is at a distance ${d_2}.$ Then $({d_1}/{d_2})$ is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{4}{3}\left( {\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3}\left( {\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}} \right)$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}\left( {\frac{{{\lambda _2}}}{{{\lambda _1}}}} \right)$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{4}\left( {\frac{{{\lambda _1}}}{{{\lambda _2}}}} \right)$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular separation of fringes will increase as the screen is moved away from the plane of the slits.
Statement $II$: In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular separation of fringes will increase when a monochromatic source is replaced by another monochromatic source of higher wavelength.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Two sources of light are $0.6 \, mm$ apart and the screen is placed at a distance of $1.2 \, m$ from them. $A$ light of wavelength $6000 \, \mathring{A}$ is used. The phase difference between the two light waves interfering on the screen at a point at a distance of $3 \, mm$ from the central bright band is:

In Young's double slit experiment,the $y$-coordinates of the central maxima and the $10^{th}$ maxima are $2 \, cm$ and $5 \, cm$ respectively. When the $YDSE$ apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$,what will be the corresponding $y$-coordinates?

In a double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width obtained with light of wavelength $5900 \ \mathring{A}$ was $1.2 \ \text{mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \ \text{mm}$ apart. In this arrangement, if the slit separation is increased by one-and-a-half times the previous value, then the fringe width is: (in $\text{mm}$)
