$A$ thin slice is cut out of a glass cylinder along a plane parallel to its axis. The slice is placed on a flat glass plate with the curved surface downwards. Monochromatic light is incident normally from the top. The observed interference fringes from this combination do not follow one of the following statements.

$A$ thin film of water $(\mu = 4/3)$ is $3100 \,\mathring{A}$ thick. If it is illuminated by white light at normal incidence,the colour of the film in the reflected light will be:

To ensure almost $100$ per cent transmittivity,photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediate between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). $A$ typically used dielectric film is $MgF_2$ $(n = 1.38)$. What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum $5500 \, \mathring{A}$ there is maximum transmission?

In a biprism experiment,if the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band with wavelength $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $6^{\text{th}}$ dark band with wavelength $\lambda_2$,then the ratio $(\lambda_1 / \lambda_2)$ is:

The following diagram is an arrangement to view the interference pattern produced by a wedge of liquid between a microscope slide and a glass block. The interference pattern obtained is made of equally spaced parallel fringes. The fringe separation (or fringe width) $\beta$ may be decreased by some of the following actions (Consider one change at a time).
