The ratio of intensities of two coherent sources is $p$. The visibility of the fringes in the interference pattern is given by:

In Young's double slit experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \ \mathring{A}$ is used. The slits are $1.0 \ mm$ apart and the screen is placed at $1.0 \ m$ away from the slits. The distance from the centre of the screen where intensity becomes half of the maximum intensity for the first time is . . . . . . $\times 10^{-6} \ m$.

In Young's double slit experiment,one of the slits is wider than the other,so that the amplitude of the light from one slit is double that of the other. If $I_m$ is the maximum intensity,the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere at a phase difference $\phi$ is given by

Two beams of monochromatic light with intensities $64 \ mW$ and $4 \ mW$ interfere constructively to produce an intensity of $100 \ mW$. If one of the beams is shifted by a phase angle $\phi$,the intensity is reduced to $84 \ mW$. The magnitude of $\phi$ is

In a $YDSE$ setup,the intensity due to two coherent beams differs from each other by $1\%$. If one of the beams has intensity $I$,then the intensity of the minima is:
