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?

If yellow light in the Young's double slit experiment is replaced by red light,the fringe width will

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits $1 \, mm$ apart with a light source $(\lambda = 632.8 \, nm)$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $100 \, cm$. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at a distance of $1.27 \, mm$ from the central bright fringe,then the path difference between the waves,which are reaching this point from the slits,is close to $.... \mu m$.

In a $YDSE$ with two identical slits,when the upper slit is covered with a thin,perfectly transparent sheet of mica,the intensity at the centre of the screen reduces to $75\%$ of the initial value. The second minimum is observed to be above this point and the third maximum below it. Which of the following cannot be a possible value of the phase difference caused by the mica sheet?
