The slits in a double-slit interference experiment are illuminated by orange light λ=600 nm. A thin transparent plastic of thickness t is placed in front of one of the slits. The number of fringes N shifting on screen is plotted with the refractive index μ of the plastic. The value of t (in μm) is,

In a standard Young's double-slit setup, we get 60 fringes on a section of screen with monochromatic light of wavelength 4000 . If we use monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 , then the number of fringes that would be obtained in the same section is,

A double-slit apparatus is set up and green light is used to form the interference pattern. The green light is then replaced by red light. Which of the following changes may not allow the spacing of the bright bands on the screen to remain unaffected by the change of light colour? (Given that the distance between the slits is d and that between the plane of the slits and the screen is D.)

White light is used to illuminate the two slits in a Young's double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is b and the screen is at a distance d b from the slits. At a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, certain wavelengths are missing. One of these missing wavelengths is,

A thin oil film of refractive index 1.2 floats on the surface of water μ=43. When a light of wavelength, λ=9.6×10-7 m falls normally on the film from air, then it appears dark when seen normally. The minimum change in its thickness for which it will appear bright in normally reflected light by the same light is,
