A source of light is placed in front of a screen. Intensity of light on the screen is I. Two Polaroids P₁ and P₂ are so placed in between the source of light and screen that the intensity of light on screen is I/2. P₂ should be rotated by an angle of (degrees) so that the intensity of light on the screen becomes $${{3I} \over 8}$$.

White light is passed through a double slit and interference is observed on a screen 1.5 m away. The separation between the slits is 0.3 mm. The first violet and red fringes are formed 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm away from the central white fringes. the difference in wavelengths of red and violet light is ................ nm.

The difference in the number of waves when yellow light propagates through air and vacuum columns of the same thickness is one. The thickness of the air column is ___________ mm. [Refractive index of air = 1.0003, wavelength of yellow light in vacuum = 6000 $$\mathop A\limits^o $$]

A galaxy is moving away from the earth at a speed of 286 kms^$$-$$1. The shift in the wavelength of a redline at 630 nm is x $$\times$$ 10^$$-$$10 m. The value of x, to the nearest integer, is ____________. [Take the value of speed of light c, as 3 $$\times$$ 10⁸ ms^$$-$$1]
