Two coherent plane light waves of equal amplitude make a small angle $\alpha (\alpha \ll 1)$ with each other. They fall almost normally on a screen. If $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light waves,the fringe width $\Delta x$ of the interference pattern of the two sets of waves on the screen is:

Two identical light sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ emit light of same wavelength $\lambda$. These light rays will exhibit interference if

Two light waves having the same wavelength $\lambda$ in vacuum are in phase initially. Then the first wave travels a path $L_{1}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{1}$ while the second wave travels a path of length $L_{2}$ through a medium of refractive index $n_{2}$. After this the phase difference between the two waves is:

$A$ and $B$ are two interfering sources where $A$ is ahead in phase by $54^{\circ}$ relative to $B$. The observation is taken from point $P$ such that $PB-PA=2.5 \lambda$. Then the phase difference between the waves from $A$ and $B$ reaching point $P$ is (in rad) (in $\pi$)

Two coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ are separated by a distance four times the wavelength $\lambda$ of the source. The sources lie along the $y$-axis,whereas a detector moves along the $+x$-axis. Leaving the origin and far-off points,the number of points where maxima are observed is
