White light is used to illuminate the two slits in 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. Some of these missing wavelengths are

While conducting the Young's double-slit experiment, a student replaced two slits with a large opaque plate in the x-y plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources (S1, S2) emitting light of wavelength 600 nm. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the x-z plane (z> 0) at a distance D= 3 m from the mid-point of S1S2, as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources d=0.6003 mm. The origin O is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining S1S2. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?

Two coherent monochromatic point sources S1 and S2 of wavelength λ= 600 nm are placed symmetrically on either side of the center of the circle as shown. The sources are separated by a distance d= 1.8 mm. This arrangement produces interference fringes visible as alternate bright and dark spots on the circumference of the circle. The angular separation between two consecutive bright spots is θ. Which of the following options is/are correct?
