Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE) Questions in English

(C) In Young's double slit experiment,the position of the $n^{th}$ bright fringe is given by $y_n = n \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
For the first case,$n_1 = 5$,$\lambda_1 = 600 nm$,and $y_1 = 6 mm$.
So,$6 = 5 \times \frac{600 D}{d} \Rightarrow \frac{D}{d} = \frac{6}{5 \times 600} = \frac{1}{500} mm/nm$.
For the second case,$n_2 = 3$,$\lambda_2 = 400 nm$.
The position of the third bright fringe is $y_2 = n_2 \frac{\lambda_2 D}{d}$.
Substituting the values: $y_2 = 3 \times 400 \times \frac{1}{500} = \frac{1200}{500} = 2.4 mm$.

(C) Given: $\lambda_1 = 3750 \text{ Å}$,$\lambda_2 = 7500 \text{ Å}$,$D = 4 \,m$,$d = 3 \,mm = 3 \times 10^{-3} \,m$.
For the bright fringes to coincide,the position $x$ must be the same for both wavelengths:
$x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n_2 \lambda_2 D}{d}$
This implies $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$,or $\frac{n_1}{n_2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{7500}{3750} = \frac{2}{1}$.
For the minimum distance,we take the smallest integers $n_1 = 2$ and $n_2 = 1$.
Substituting $n_1 = 2$ into the expression for $x$:
$x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{2 \times 3750 \times 10^{-10} \,m \times 4 \,m}{3 \times 10^{-3} \,m}$
$x = \frac{30000 \times 10^{-10} \times 4}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{12 \times 10^{-6}}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = 4 \times 10^{-3} \,m = 4 \,mm$.
Wait,re-calculating: $x = \frac{2 \times 3750 \times 10^{-10} \times 4}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{30000 \times 10^{-10} \times 4}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{1.2 \times 10^{-5}}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = 0.4 \times 10^{-2} \,m = 4 \,mm$.
Correction: The calculation in the prompt was $1 \,mm$,but $2 \times 3750 = 7500$. $7500 \times 4 = 30000$. $30000 / 3 = 10000$. $10000 \times 10^{-10} / 10^{-3} = 10^{-6} / 10^{-3} = 10^{-3} \,m = 1 \,mm$. The calculation is correct.

(B) For a dark fringe (minima) in Young's double slit experiment,the path difference $\Delta x$ is given by the formula: $\Delta x = (n - \frac{1}{2}) \lambda$,where $n$ is the order of the dark fringe and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light.
For the second order dark fringe,$n = 2$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = (2 - \frac{1}{2}) \times 5000 \text{ Å} = \frac{3}{2} \times 5000 \text{ Å} = 7500 \text{ Å}$.
Converting to micrometers: $7500 \text{ Å} = 7500 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m} = 0.75 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m} = 0.75 \mu m$.

(B) Given:
Distance between the slits, $d = 0.28 \,mm = 0.28 \times 10^{-3} \,m$
Distance between the slits and the screen, $D = 1.4 \,m$
Distance of the $4^{th}$ bright fringe from the central fringe, $y_n = 1.2 \,cm = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} \,m$
Order of the fringe, $n = 4$
For constructive interference, the position of the $n^{th}$ bright fringe is given by:
$y_n = n \lambda \frac{D}{d}$
Rearranging the formula to solve for wavelength $\lambda$:
$\lambda = \frac{y_n d}{n D}$
Substituting the values:
$\lambda = \frac{(1.2 \times 10^{-2} \,m) \times (0.28 \times 10^{-3} \,m)}{4 \times 1.4 \,m}$
$\lambda = \frac{0.336 \times 10^{-5}}{5.6} \,m$
$\lambda = 0.06 \times 10^{-5} \,m = 6 \times 10^{-7} \,m$
Converting to nanometers $(1 \,nm = 10^{-9} \,m)$:
$\lambda = 600 \times 10^{-9} \,m = 600 \,nm$
Thus, the wavelength of the light used is $600 \,nm$.

(D) The formula for fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is $\beta = \frac{D \lambda}{d}$,where $D$ is the distance between the screen and the slits,$\lambda$ is the wavelength of light,and $d$ is the separation between the slits.
Given that the new distance $D_2 = 2D_1$ and the new slit separation $d_2 = \frac{d_1}{2}$.
The new fringe width $\beta_2$ is given by $\beta_2 = \frac{D_2 \lambda}{d_2}$.
Substituting the values,we get $\beta_2 = \frac{(2D_1) \lambda}{(d_1 / 2)} = 4 \times \frac{D_1 \lambda}{d_1} = 4 \beta_1$.
Therefore,the fringe width is quadrupled.

(A) The formula for fringe width in a Young's double slit experiment is $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength,$D$ is the distance from the slits to the screen,and $d$ is the distance between the slits.
Let the initial fringe width be $\beta_1 = \frac{\lambda D_1}{d_1}$.
According to the problem,the new distance between slits is $d_2 = 10 d_1$ and the new distance from the screen is $D_2 = \frac{D_1}{2}$.
The new fringe width is $\beta_2 = \frac{\lambda D_2}{d_2} = \frac{\lambda (D_1 / 2)}{10 d_1} = \frac{1}{20} \left( \frac{\lambda D_1}{d_1} \right)$.
Therefore,$\beta_2 = \frac{1}{20} \beta_1$.

(C) In Young's double slit experiment,the condition for destructive interference (dark fringe) is that the path difference $\Delta x$ must be an odd multiple of $\frac{\lambda}{2}$.
For the first dark fringe,the path difference is $\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2}$.
The relationship between phase difference $\Delta \phi$ and path difference $\Delta x$ is given by $\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \times \Delta x$.
Substituting $\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2}$ into the formula:
$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \times \frac{\lambda}{2} = \pi$.
Thus,the phase difference is $\pi$.

(C) For interference maxima on the screen,the path difference condition is given by:
$d \sin \theta = n \lambda$
where $d$ is the slit separation,$\theta$ is the angle,$n$ is the order of maxima,and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.
Given that $d = 2 \lambda$,the equation becomes:
$2 \lambda \sin \theta = n \lambda$
$2 \sin \theta = n$
Since the maximum value of $\sin \theta$ is $1$,the maximum value of $n$ is:
$n_{max} = 2 \times 1 = 2$
The possible values for $n$ are integers such that $-2 \le n \le 2$.
These values are $\{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2\}$.
Counting these,we get a total of $5$ interference maxima.

(B) The fringe width $\beta$ in a medium with refractive index $\mu$ is given by the formula: $\beta = \frac{\lambda' D}{d}$,where $\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}$.
Thus,$\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{\mu d}$.
Given values:
$\lambda = 6300 \ \mathring{A} = 6300 \times 10^{-10} \ m$
$D = 1.33 \ m$
$d = 1 \ mm = 10^{-3} \ m$
$\mu = 1.33$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\beta = \frac{6300 \times 10^{-10} \times 1.33}{1.33 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\beta = 6300 \times 10^{-7} \ m$
$\beta = 6.3 \times 10^{-4} \ m = 0.63 \ mm$.

(B) In a Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width $\beta$ is given by the formula $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light, $D$ is the distance between the slits and the screen, and $d$ is the distance between the slits.
From the formula, we can see that $\beta \propto \frac{1}{d}$ when $\lambda$ and $D$ are constant.
Given: Initial slit separation $d_1 = 2 \text{ mm}$, initial fringe width $\beta_1 = 1.2 \text{ mm}$.
New slit separation $d_2 = 1.5 \times d_1 = 1.5 \times 2 \text{ mm} = 3 \text{ mm}$.
Using the proportionality $\beta_1 d_1 = \beta_2 d_2$, we get:
$\beta_2 = \beta_1 \times \frac{d_1}{d_2} = 1.2 \text{ mm} \times \frac{2 \text{ mm}}{3 \text{ mm}} = 1.2 \times \frac{2}{3} \text{ mm} = 0.4 \times 2 \text{ mm} = 0.8 \text{ mm}$.
Therefore, the new fringe width is $0.8 \text{ mm}$.

(C) For the bright fringes of two different wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ to coincide at a distance $x$ from the central maximum,the condition is $x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n_2 \lambda_2 D}{d}$.
This implies $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$,where $n_1$ and $n_2$ are integers.
Given $\lambda_1 = 4200 \text{ Å}$ and $\lambda_2 = 5040 \text{ Å}$,we have $\frac{n_1}{n_2} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{5040}{4200} = \frac{504}{420} = \frac{6}{5}$.
For the minimum distance,we take the smallest integers $n_1 = 6$ and $n_2 = 5$.
The distance $x$ is given by $x = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d}$.
Given $D = 200 \text{ cm} = 2 \text{ m}$,$d = 2.4 \text{ mm} = 2.4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}$,and $\lambda_1 = 4200 \times 10^{-10} \text{ m}$.
Substituting the values: $x = \frac{6 \times 4200 \times 10^{-10} \times 2}{2.4 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{50400 \times 10^{-10}}{2.4 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{5.04 \times 10^{-6}}{2.4 \times 10^{-3}} = 2.1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 2.1 \text{ mm}$.

(B) The intensity at any point in an interference pattern is given by $I = I_0 \cos^2\left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right)$,where $\phi$ is the phase difference.
Given $I = \frac{I_0}{4}$,we have $\frac{I_0}{4} = I_0 \cos^2\left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right)$,which implies $\cos^2\left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{4}$.
Taking the square root,$\cos\left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2}$,so $\frac{\phi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{3}$,which gives $\phi = \frac{2\pi}{3}$.
The path difference $\Delta x$ is related to the phase difference by $\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \phi = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi} \left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\lambda}{3}$.
From the geometry of the setup,the path difference is $\Delta x = d \sin \theta$. Given $d = 2\lambda$,we have $\frac{\lambda}{3} = 2\lambda \sin \theta$.
Solving for $\sin \theta$,we get $\sin \theta = \frac{\lambda/3}{2\lambda} = \frac{1}{6}$.
Therefore,$\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)$.

(A) Given: Slit separation $d = 0.5 \,mm = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m$, wavelength $\lambda = 500 \,nm = 500 \times 10^{-9} \,m$, distance to screen $D = 120 \,cm = 1.2 \,m$, and position on screen $y = 3 \,mm = 3 \times 10^{-3} \,m$.
The path difference $\Delta x$ is given by $\Delta x = \frac{yd}{D}$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = \frac{(3 \times 10^{-3} \,m) \times (0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m)}{1.2 \,m} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-6}}{1.2} \,m = 1.25 \times 10^{-6} \,m$.
The phase difference $\Delta \phi$ is related to the path difference by $\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \Delta x$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{500 \times 10^{-9} \,m} \times (1.25 \times 10^{-6} \,m) = \frac{2.5 \pi \times 10^{-6}}{500 \times 10^{-9}} = \frac{2.5 \pi}{0.5} = 5 \pi$ radians.

(B) The position of the $n$th bright fringe from the central maximum is given by $y_n = n \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
For red light,the position of the $n$th bright fringe is $y_P = n \frac{\lambda_R D}{d}$.
For green light,the position of the $(n+1)$th bright fringe is $y_P = (n+1) \frac{\lambda_G D}{d}$.
Since the point $P$ is the same in both cases,we equate the two expressions:
$n \lambda_R \frac{D}{d} = (n+1) \lambda_G \frac{D}{d}$.
Canceling the common terms $\frac{D}{d}$,we get:
$n \lambda_R = (n+1) \lambda_G$.
Substituting the given wavelengths $\lambda_R = 6000 \ Å$ and $\lambda_G = 5000 \ Å$:
$n(6000) = (n+1)(5000)$.
Dividing both sides by $1000$:
$6n = 5(n+1)$.
$6n = 5n + 5$.
$n = 5$.

(B) In Young's double-slit interference experiment, the fringe width $\beta$ is given by the formula:
$\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$
where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $D$ is the distance between the slits and the screen, and $d$ is the separation between the slits.
Given:
$\beta_1 = 1.2 \ \text{mm}$
$d_2 = 1.5 \times d_1$
Since $\beta \propto \frac{1}{d}$ (assuming $\lambda$ and $D$ remain constant),
$\frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{d_2}{d_1} = 1.5$
Substituting the values:
$\frac{1.2}{\beta_2} = 1.5$
$\beta_2 = \frac{1.2}{1.5} = 0.8 \ \text{mm}$
Thus, the new fringe width is $0.8 \ \text{mm}$.

(A) The intensity at any point on the screen in Young's double slit experiment is given by $I = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})$,where $\phi$ is the phase difference.
At the central bright fringe $(P_1)$,the path difference is $0$,so the phase difference $\phi_1 = 0$. Thus,$I_1 = I_{max}$.
The path difference $\Delta x$ at a distance $y$ from the center is given by $\Delta x = \frac{yd}{D}$.
Given that $P_2$ is at a distance $y = \frac{\beta}{4}$ from $P_1$,where $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$ is the fringe width.
So,$\Delta x = \frac{(\beta/4)d}{D} = \frac{(\lambda D/4d)d}{D} = \frac{\lambda}{4}$.
The phase difference $\phi_2$ is $\phi_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Delta x = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{\lambda}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Now,the intensity at $P_2$ is $I_2 = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\pi/2}{2}) = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\pi}{4}) = I_{max} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = \frac{I_{max}}{2}$.
Therefore,the ratio $\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{I_{max}}{I_{max}/2} = 2$.

(A) In Young's double-slit experiment,the angular separation $\theta$ between consecutive bright fringes is given by the formula $\theta = \frac{\lambda}{d}$.
Given:
Wavelength of light $(\lambda) = 400 nm = 400 \times 10^{-9} m = 4 \times 10^{-7} m$.
Separation between the slits $(d) = 0.001 m = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} m$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\theta = \frac{4 \times 10^{-7} m}{1.0 \times 10^{-3} m} = 4 \times 10^{-4} rad$.

(C) The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe is given by $y_n = n \beta$, where $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe is given by $y'_n = (n - 0.5) \beta$.
Given the distance between the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe $(y_5 = 5 \beta)$ and the $7^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe $(y'_7 = (7 - 0.5) \beta = 6.5 \beta)$ is $3 \text{ mm}$:
$|6.5 \beta - 5 \beta| = 3 \text{ mm} \implies 1.5 \beta = 3 \text{ mm} \implies \beta = 2 \text{ mm}$.
Now, we need to find the distance between the $5^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe $(y'_5 = (5 - 0.5) \beta = 4.5 \beta)$ and the $7^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe $(y_7 = 7 \beta)$:
Distance $= |7 \beta - 4.5 \beta| = 2.5 \beta$.
Substituting $\beta = 2 \text{ mm}$:
Distance $= 2.5 \times 2 \text{ mm} = 5 \text{ mm}$.

(A) The intensity in an interference pattern is given by $I_{res} = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})$,where $\phi$ is the phase difference.
For a path difference $\Delta x = \lambda$,the phase difference is $\phi_1 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \cdot \lambda = 2\pi$.
The intensity is $I = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{2\pi}{2}) = I_{max} \cos^2(\pi) = I_{max}(1)^2 = I_{max}$.
For a path difference $\Delta x = \frac{\lambda}{3}$,the phase difference is $\phi_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{\lambda}{3} = \frac{2\pi}{3}$.
The intensity at this point is $I' = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\phi_2}{2}) = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{2\pi/3}{2}) = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\pi}{3})$.
Since $\cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}$,we have $I' = I_{max} (\frac{1}{2})^2 = \frac{I_{max}}{4}$.
Since $I_{max} = I$,the intensity is $\frac{I}{4}$.

(C) In $YDSE$,the position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ maxima is given by $y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d} + y_0$,where $y_0$ is the position of the central maxima.
Given in air: $y_0 = 2 \text{ cm}$ and $y_{10} = 5 \text{ cm}$.
The fringe width $\beta = y_{10} - y_0 = 5 \text{ cm} - 2 \text{ cm} = 3 \text{ cm}$.
We know $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$. Thus,$\frac{\lambda D}{d} = 3 \text{ cm}$.
When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$,the wavelength becomes $\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}$.
The new fringe width $\beta' = \frac{\lambda' D}{d} = \frac{\lambda D}{\mu d} = \frac{\beta}{\mu} = \frac{3 \text{ cm}}{1.5} = 2 \text{ cm}$.
The central maxima position $y_0'$ remains unchanged because it is independent of the wavelength,so $y_0' = 2 \text{ cm}$.
The new position of the $10^{\text{th}}$ maxima is $y_{10}' = y_0' + 10 \beta' = 2 \text{ cm} + 10 \times \frac{3 \text{ cm}}{10 \times 1.5} = 2 \text{ cm} + 2 \text{ cm} = 4 \text{ cm}$.
Alternatively,$y_{10}' = y_0 + 10 \beta' = 2 \text{ cm} + 10 \times (0.2 \text{ cm}) = 4 \text{ cm}$.

(B) The separation between the two slits is $d = 1 \,mm = 10^{-3} \,m$.
The distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 1 \,m$.
The wavelength of the light used is $\lambda = 500 \,nm = 500 \times 10^{-9} \,m$.
The formula for fringe width $\beta$ is given by $\beta = \frac{D \lambda}{d}$.
Substituting the given values:
$\beta = \frac{1 \times 500 \times 10^{-9}}{10^{-3}} = 500 \times 10^{-6} \,m = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \,m = 0.5 \,mm$.

(B) Given: Distance between slits $d = 1 \,mm = 10^{-3} \,m$, wavelength $\lambda = 6.5 \times 10^{-7} \,m$, distance of screen $D = 1 \,m$.
For the $n^{th}$ dark fringe, the position is given by $y_n = (n - 0.5) \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
For the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe $(n=3)$: $y_3 = (3 - 0.5) \frac{6.5 \times 10^{-7} \times 1}{10^{-3}} = 2.5 \times 6.5 \times 10^{-4} = 16.25 \times 10^{-4} \,m$.
For the $n^{th}$ bright fringe, the position is given by $y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d}$.
For the $5^{th}$ bright fringe $(n=5)$: $y_5 = \frac{5 \times 6.5 \times 10^{-7} \times 1}{10^{-3}} = 32.5 \times 10^{-4} \,m$.
The distance between the $3^{rd}$ dark fringe and the $5^{th}$ bright fringe is $\Delta y = y_5 - y_3 = 32.5 \times 10^{-4} - 16.25 \times 10^{-4} = 16.25 \times 10^{-4} \,m = 1.625 \,mm$.

(C) When a light wave enters a medium of refractive index $\mu$,its wavelength becomes $\lambda^{\prime} = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}$.
Fringe width in $\text{YDSE}$ is given by $\beta = \frac{\lambda^{\prime} D}{d}$.
Given: $\lambda = 550 \times 10^{-9} \ m$,$D = 0.6 \ m$,$d = 0.2 \times 10^{-3} \ m$,and $\mu = \frac{11}{9}$.
Substituting the values:
$\beta = \frac{(\lambda / \mu) D}{d} = \frac{\lambda D}{\mu d} = \frac{550 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.6}{(11/9) \times 0.2 \times 10^{-3}}$.
$\beta = \frac{550 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.6 \times 9}{11 \times 0.2 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{330 \times 10^{-9} \times 9}{2.2 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{2970 \times 10^{-9}}{2.2 \times 10^{-3}} = 1350 \times 10^{-6} \ m = 1.35 \ mm$.

(A) The angular fringe width $\beta_{\theta}$ is given by the formula $\beta_{\theta} = \frac{\lambda}{d}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $d$ is the slit separation.
Since $\beta_{\theta} \propto \lambda$,when the system is immersed in water,the wavelength changes to $\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}$.
Therefore,the new angular width $\beta_{\theta}'$ is $\beta_{\theta}' = \frac{\beta_{\theta}}{\mu}$.
Given $\beta_{\theta} = 0.2^{\circ}$ and $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$,the new angular width is $\beta_{\theta}' = 0.2^{\circ} \times \frac{3}{4} = 0.15^{\circ}$.
The change in angular width is $\Delta \beta_{\theta} = \beta_{\theta} - \beta_{\theta}' = 0.2^{\circ} - 0.15^{\circ} = 0.05^{\circ}$.

(B) The condition for the position of the $m^{\text{th}}$ order maximum in Young's double slit experiment is given by $y = \frac{m \lambda D}{d}$.
For the $m^{\text{th}}$ order of red light and $(m+1)^{\text{th}}$ order of blue light to coincide,their positions must be equal:
$y_{\text{red}} = y_{\text{blue}}$
$\frac{m \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{(m+1) \lambda_2 D}{d}$
$m \lambda_1 = (m+1) \lambda_2$
Substituting the given values:
$m(780 \ nm) = (m+1)(520 \ nm)$
$780m = 520m + 520$
$780m - 520m = 520$
$260m = 520$
$m = \frac{520}{260} = 2$
Thus,the $2^{\text{nd}}$ order of red light coincides with the $3^{\text{rd}}$ order of blue light.

(A) The angular width of a fringe in a double-slit experiment is given by $\theta = \frac{\lambda}{d}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light and $d$ is the slit separation.
Since $d$ remains constant,the angular width is directly proportional to the wavelength: $\theta \propto \lambda$.
When the apparatus is immersed in a medium of refractive index $\mu$,the wavelength of light changes to $\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}$.
Therefore,the new angular width $\theta'$ is given by $\theta' = \frac{\theta}{\mu}$.
Given $\theta = 0.15^{\circ}$ and $\mu = \frac{5}{3}$,we have:
$\theta' = \frac{0.15^{\circ}}{5/3} = 0.15^{\circ} \times \frac{3}{5} = 0.03^{\circ} \times 3 = 0.09^{\circ}$.

(A) The position of the $n^{\text{th}}$ order maximum in Young's double slit experiment is given by the formula: $Y_n = \frac{n \lambda D}{d}$.
Since the position $Y_n$ remains the same for both light sources,we can equate the expressions:
$Y_n = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n_2 \lambda_2 D}{d}$.
This simplifies to: $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$.
Given $n_1 = 12$,$\lambda_1 = 6000 \ Å$,and $\lambda_2 = 4800 \ Å$,we substitute these values:
$12 \times 6000 = n_2 \times 4800$.
$n_2 = \frac{12 \times 6000}{4800} = \frac{72000}{4800} = 15$.
Therefore,the $15^{\text{th}}$ order maximum will be visible at the same point.

(B) Let $I_{max}$ be the maximum intensity. The intensity at any point is given by $I = I_{max} \cos^2(\phi/2)$,where $\phi$ is the phase difference.
Phase difference $\phi$ is related to path difference $\Delta x$ by $\phi = (2\pi/\lambda) \Delta x$.
For path difference $\Delta x = \lambda/3$,phase difference $\phi_1 = (2\pi/\lambda) \times (\lambda/3) = 2\pi/3$.
Given intensity $I_1 = I_0 = I_{max} \cos^2(2\pi/6) = I_{max} \cos^2(\pi/3) = I_{max} (1/2)^2 = I_{max}/4$.
Thus,$I_{max} = 4 I_0$.
For path difference $\Delta x = \lambda$,phase difference $\phi_2 = (2\pi/\lambda) \times \lambda = 2\pi$.
The intensity at this point is $I_2 = I_{max} \cos^2(2\pi/2) = I_{max} \cos^2(\pi) = I_{max} (-1)^2 = I_{max}$.
Substituting $I_{max} = 4 I_0$,we get $I_2 = 4 I_0$.

(B) In $YDSE$,let the intensities of two identical coherent sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ be $I_0$. The resultant intensity is given by $I = 4I_0 \cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})$,where $\phi$ is the phase difference. Note: If $I_1 = I_2 = I_0$,then $I_{max} = 4I_0$. Using $I = I_{max} \cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})$.
For point $A$,path difference $\Delta x_1 = \lambda$. Phase difference $\phi_1 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Delta x_1 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \lambda = 2\pi$.
Intensity $I_A = 4I_0 \cos^2(\frac{2\pi}{2}) = 4I_0 \cos^2(\pi) = 4I_0(1)^2 = 4I_0$.
For point $B$,path difference $\Delta x_2 = \frac{\lambda}{4}$. Phase difference $\phi_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Delta x_2 = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \frac{\lambda}{4} = \frac{\pi}{2}$.
Intensity $I_B = 4I_0 \cos^2(\frac{\pi/2}{2}) = 4I_0 \cos^2(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 4I_0 (\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^2 = 4I_0 (\frac{1}{2}) = 2I_0$.
The ratio of intensities is $\frac{I_A}{I_B} = \frac{4I_0}{2I_0} = \frac{2}{1}$.

(B) In a Young's double slit experiment,when white light is used to illuminate the slits,the central point of the interference pattern is equidistant from both coherent sources.
At this central point,the path difference for all wavelengths (colours) present in the white light is zero.
Since the phase difference is $\Delta \phi = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \Delta x$,and $\Delta x = 0$,the phase difference is zero for all colours.
Consequently,all colours interfere constructively at the central point,resulting in the formation of a white fringe.

(D) In Young's double slit experiment $(YDSE)$,the fringe width $\beta$ is given by the formula: $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
Here,$\lambda$ is the wavelength of light,$D$ is the distance between the screen and the slits,and $d$ is the distance between the two slits.
Since $D$ and $d$ are constant,the fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength: $\beta \propto \lambda$.
The wavelengths of the given colors follow the order: $\lambda_R > \lambda_G > \lambda_B$.
Therefore,the fringe widths will follow the same order: $\beta_R > \beta_G > \beta_B$.

(D) Given: $\lambda_1 = 6600 \ \text{Å}$,$\lambda_2 = 4400 \ \text{Å}$,$n_1 = 60$.
In Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of the field of view is constant.
The number of fringes $n$ is inversely proportional to the fringe width $\beta$,where $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
Thus,$n \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$,which implies $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$.
Substituting the given values:
$60 \times 6600 = n_2 \times 4400$
$n_2 = \frac{60 \times 6600}{4400}$
$n_2 = 60 \times \frac{66}{44} = 60 \times 1.5 = 90$.
Therefore,$90$ fringes will be observed.

(C) The fringe width $\beta$ in Young's double slit experiment is given by the formula:
$\beta = \frac{D \lambda}{d}$
where $D$ is the distance between the slits and the screen,$\lambda$ is the wavelength of light,and $d$ is the slit separation.
Given that the new slit separation $d_2 = 2d_1$ and the new distance $D_2 = \frac{D_1}{2}$.
The new fringe width $\beta_2$ is:
$\beta_2 = \frac{D_2 \lambda}{d_2} = \frac{(D_1 / 2) \lambda}{2 d_1} = \frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{D_1 \lambda}{d_1} \right)$
$\beta_2 = \frac{1}{4} \beta_1$
Therefore,the fringe width becomes $\frac{1}{4}$ times its original value.

(B) Let the $m^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe of wavelength $\lambda_1 = 400 \text{ nm}$ and the $n^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 600 \text{ nm}$ coincide at point $P$ on the screen.
For bright fringes,the position $y$ from the central maximum is given by $y = \frac{k \lambda D}{d}$,where $k$ is the order of the fringe.
Since they coincide at the same point $P$,we have $y_m = y_n$.
$\frac{m \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n \lambda_2 D}{d}$
$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}$
Substituting the given values:
$\frac{m}{n} = \frac{600 \text{ nm}}{400 \text{ nm}} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$
Thus,the minimum integral values are $m = 3$ and $n = 2$.

(C) Given,$\lambda_1 = 8 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$ and $\lambda_2 = 6 \times 10^{-5} \ cm$.
The position of the $n_1^{\text{th}}$ dark fringe due to light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is given by $x_{n_1} = (2n_1 - 1) \frac{D \lambda_1}{2d}$.
The position of the $n_2^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe due to light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ is given by $x_{n_2} = \frac{n_2 D \lambda_2}{d}$.
Since the fringes coincide,$x_{n_1} = x_{n_2}$:
$(2n_1 - 1) \frac{D \lambda_1}{2d} = \frac{n_2 D \lambda_2}{d}$
$(2n_1 - 1) \frac{\lambda_1}{2} = n_2 \lambda_2$
$\frac{2n_1 - 1}{n_2} = \frac{2 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{2 \times 6 \times 10^{-5}}{8 \times 10^{-5}} = \frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$
Thus,$2(2n_1 - 1) = 3n_2$,which simplifies to $4n_1 - 2 = 3n_2$.
Testing the options:
For $n_1=1, n_2=2$: $4(1) - 2 = 2$ and $3(2) = 6$ (No).
Wait,re-evaluating the dark fringe formula: $x = (2n_1 - 1) \frac{D \lambda_1}{2d}$. If $n_1=1$,$x = \frac{D \lambda_1}{2d}$.
Using $\frac{2n_1-1}{n_2} = \frac{3}{2}$,if $n_1=2$,$\frac{4-1}{n_2} = \frac{3}{n_2} = \frac{3}{2} \implies n_2=2$.
Checking option $C$: $n_1=1, n_2=2 \implies \frac{2(1)-1}{2} = 1/2 \neq 3/2$.
Checking option $D$: $n_1=3, n_2=2 \implies \frac{2(3)-1}{2} = 5/2 \neq 3/2$.
Actually,for $n_1=2, n_2=2$,the condition is satisfied. Given the options,let's re-check the calculation: $4n_1 - 3n_2 = 2$. If $n_1=2, n_2=2$,$8-6=2$. If $n_1=1, n_2=2/3$ (invalid). The correct pair is $n_1=2, n_2=2$.

(C) The condition for the coincidence of bright fringes is given by $y = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d} = \frac{n_2 \lambda_2 D}{d}$.
This implies $n_1 \lambda_1 = n_2 \lambda_2$.
Substituting the given wavelengths: $n_1(500 \ nm) = n_2(600 \ nm)$.
This simplifies to $5 n_1 = 6 n_2$,which gives the smallest integer ratio $n_1 = 6$ and $n_2 = 5$.
Now,using the formula for the position of the $n_1$-th bright fringe: $y = \frac{n_1 \lambda_1 D}{d}$.
Given $y = 2.5 \ mm = 2.5 \times 10^{-3} \ m$,$d = 3 \ mm = 3 \times 10^{-3} \ m$,and $\lambda_1 = 500 \ nm = 500 \times 10^{-9} \ m$.
Substituting these values: $2.5 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{6 \times 500 \times 10^{-9} \times D}{3 \times 10^{-3}}$.
Solving for $D$: $D = \frac{2.5 \times 10^{-3} \times 3 \times 10^{-3}}{6 \times 500 \times 10^{-9}} = \frac{7.5 \times 10^{-6}}{3000 \times 10^{-9}} = \frac{7.5 \times 10^{-6}}{3 \times 10^{-6}} = 2.5 \ m$.

(D) The distance between the central bright fringe and the adjacent bright fringe is equal to the fringe width $\beta$.
The formula for fringe width is given by $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
Given values are:
Slit separation $d = 0.3 \,mm = 0.3 \times 10^{-3} \,m$
Distance to screen $D = 1 \,m$
Fringe width $\beta = 1.9 \,mm = 1.9 \times 10^{-3} \,m$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$1.9 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{\lambda \times 1}{0.3 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\lambda = 1.9 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.3 \times 10^{-3}$
$\lambda = 0.57 \times 10^{-6} \,m$
$\lambda = 570 \times 10^{-9} \,m = 570 \,nm$.

(B) The formula for fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is given by $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$.
Given:
Initial fringe width $\beta_1 = 1.2 \text{ mm}$.
Initial slit separation $d_1 = 2 \text{ mm}$.
The slit separation is increased by one-and-half times the previous value,so $d_2 = 1.5 d_1$.
Since $\beta \propto \frac{1}{d}$,we have $\frac{\beta_1}{\beta_2} = \frac{d_2}{d_1}$.
Substituting the values:
$\frac{1.2}{\beta_2} = 1.5$.
$\beta_2 = \frac{1.2}{1.5} = 0.8 \text{ mm}$.

(B) Given wavelength $\lambda = 6000 Å = 6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$.
For dark fringes in Young's double slit experiment,the path difference $\Delta x$ is given by the formula $\Delta x = (2n - 1) \frac{\lambda}{2}$ where $n$ is the order of the dark fringe.
For the third dark fringe,we take $n = 3$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta x = (2 \times 3 - 1) \frac{6 \times 10^{-7}}{2} \ m$.
$\Delta x = 5 \times 3 \times 10^{-7} \ m = 15 \times 10^{-7} \ m$.
Converting to microns $(1 \mu m = 10^{-6} \ m)$:
$\Delta x = 1.5 \times 10^{-6} \ m = 1.5 \mu m$.

(C) Given: $\lambda = 6000 \text{ Å} = 6 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}$,$\Delta x = 1.5 \text{ } \mu\text{m} = 1.5 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}$.
For constructive interference (bright band),the path difference is $\Delta x = n\lambda$,where $n = 0, 1, 2, \dots$.
$\Delta x / \lambda = (1.5 \times 10^{-6}) / (6 \times 10^{-7}) = 15 / 6 = 2.5$.
Since $n$ is not an integer,it is not a bright band.
For destructive interference (dark band),the path difference is $\Delta x = (2n + 1) \frac{\lambda}{2}$,where $n = 0, 1, 2, \dots$.
$1.5 \times 10^{-6} = (2n + 1) \times (6 \times 10^{-7} / 2)$.
$1.5 \times 10^{-6} = (2n + 1) \times 3 \times 10^{-7}$.
$2n + 1 = (1.5 \times 10^{-6}) / (3 \times 10^{-7}) = 15 / 3 = 5$.
$2n = 4 \Rightarrow n = 2$.
For $n = 0$,it is the first dark band; for $n = 1$,it is the second; for $n = 2$,it is the third dark band. Thus,the third dark band occurs at point $P$.

(C) The fringe width $\beta$ in a Young's double-slit experiment is given by the formula: $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength,$D$ is the distance between the slits and the screen,and $d$ is the distance between the two slits.
From the formula,we can see that $\beta \propto \frac{\lambda}{d}$.
Let the initial fringe width be $\beta_1 = \frac{\lambda_1 D}{d_1}$.
According to the problem,the new wavelength $\lambda_2 = 4\lambda_1$ and the new slit distance $d_2 = \frac{d_1}{2}$.
The new fringe width $\beta_2$ is given by: $\beta_2 = \frac{\lambda_2 D}{d_2} = \frac{(4\lambda_1) D}{(d_1/2)} = 8 \times \frac{\lambda_1 D}{d_1} = 8\beta_1$.
Therefore,the distance between two maxima will become $8$ times the original value.
