Two coherent sources of light interfere. The intensity ratio of two sources is $$1: 4$$. For this interference pattern if the value of $$\frac{I_{\max }+I_{\min }}{I_{\max }-I_{\min }}$$ is equal to $$\frac{2 \alpha+1}{\beta+3}$$, then $$\frac{\alpha}{\beta}$$ will be :

A microscope was initially placed in air (refractive index 1). It is then immersed in oil (refractive index 2). For a light whose wavelength in air is $$\lambda$$, calculate the change of microscope's resolving power due to oil and choose the correct option.

Light travels in two media $$M_{1}$$ and $$M_{2}$$ with speeds $$1.5 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$$ and $$2.0 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$$ respectively. The critical angle between them is :

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is $$12 \mathrm{~mm}$$. If the entire arrangement is placed in water of refractive index $$\frac{4}{3}$$, then the fringe width becomes (in mm):
