Two coherent sources of light are placed at points $(-\frac{5a}{2}, 0)$ and $(+\frac{5a}{2}, 0)$. The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = \frac{4a}{3}$. How many maxima will be obtained on a planar circle of large radius with its center at the origin?

In an experiment, light passing through two slits separated by a distance of $0.3 \,mm$ is projected onto a screen placed at $1 \,m$ from the plane of the slits. It is observed that the distance between the central fringe and the adjacent bright fringe is $1.9 \,mm$. The wavelength of light in $nm$ is

In the double slit experiment,when a glass plate (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) of thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams (wavelength $\lambda$),the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass plate is

In a double slit experiment,the distance between slits is increased $10$ times,whereas their distance from the screen is halved. The fringe width:

In a Young's double slit experiment,$15$ fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength $500 \; nm$ is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. Then the value of $\lambda$ is (in $nm$):

In a Young's double-slit experiment using a monochromatic source,what is the shape of the interference fringes formed on a screen?
