A single slit of width b is illuminated by a coherent monochromatic light of wavelength $$\lambda $$. If the second and fourthminima in the diffraction pattern at a distance 1 m from the slit are at 3 cm and 6 cm respectively from the central maximum, what is the width of the central maximum ? (i.e. distance between first minimum on either side of the central maximum)

In a Young’s double slit experiment, slits are separated by 0.5 mm, and the screen is placed 150 cm away. A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths, 650 nm and 520 nm, is used to obtain interference fringes on the screen. The least distance from the common central maximum to the point where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide is

An observer is moving with half the speed of light towards a stationary microwave source emitting waves at frequency 10 GHz. What is the frequency of the microwave measured by the observer? (speed of light = 3 ×10⁸ ms^–1)

A diverging lens with magnitude of focal length 25 cm is placed at a distance of 15cm from a converging lens of magnitude of focal length 20cm. A beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is:
