The angular width of the central maximum in a single slit diffraction pattern is 60°. The width of the slit is 1 $$\mu $$m. The slit is illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. If another slit of same width is made near it, Young’s fringes can be observed on a screen placed at a distance 50 cm from the slits. If the observed fringe width is 1 cm, what is slit separation distance? (i.e. distance between the centres of each slit.)

Unpolarized light of intensity I passes through an ideal polarizer A. Another identical polarizer B is placed behind A. The intensity of light beyond B is found to be I/2. Now another identical polarizer C is placed between A and B. The intensity beyond B is now found to be I/8. The angle between polarizer A and C is :

A plane polarized light is incident on a polariser with its pass axis aking angle $$\theta $$ with x-axis, as shown in the figure. At four different values of $$\theta ,\,\theta $$ = 8^o, 38^o, 188^o and 218^o, the observed intensities are same.
What is the angle between the direction of polarization and x-axis ?

Light of wavelength $$550$$ $$nm$$ falls normally on a slit of width $$22.0 \times {10^{ - 5}}$$ $$cm.$$ The angular position of the second minima from the central maximum will (in radians) :
