$A$ double slit of separation $1.5\, mm$ is illuminated by white light (between $4500\, \mathring{A} - 7000\, \mathring{A}$). On a screen $120\, cm$ away,a coloured interference pattern is formed. If a pinhole is made on this screen at a distance $3.0\, mm$ from the central white fringe,which of the following wavelengths will be absent in the transmitted light? (in $\mathring{A}$)

If the source of light used in a Young's double slit experiment is changed from red to violet:

Light consisting of plane waves of wavelengths $\lambda_1 = 8 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ and $\lambda_2 = 6 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ generates an interference pattern in Young's double-slit experiment. If $n_1$ denotes the $n_1^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe due to light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ which coincides with the $n_2^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe due to light of wavelength $\lambda_2$,then:

In Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of fringes is $0.20^o$ for sodium light of wavelength $5890 \ \mathring A$. If the complete system is dipped in water,then the angular width of the fringes becomes....$^o$

In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate the two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are observed on a screen placed in front of the slits. If a thin glass plate is placed normally in the path of the beam coming from slit $A$,then:
