In a double slit interference experiment,the fringe width obtained with a light of wavelength $5900 \text{ Å}$ was $1.2 \text{ mm}$ for parallel narrow slits placed $2 \text{ mm}$ apart. In this arrangement,if the slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value,then the fringe width is (in $ \text{ mm}$)

In Young's double-slit experiment, one slit is wider than the other, such that the amplitude of the light wave from one slit is twice that of the other. If the maximum intensity is $I_m$, then the resultant intensity $I$ when they interfere with a phase difference of $\phi$ is:

In a Young's double slit experiment,the slit separation is $0.2 \ cm$,the distance between the screen and slit is $1 \ m$. The wavelength of the light used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The distance between two consecutive dark fringes (in $mm$) is

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?
