In Young's double slit experiment, the intensities at two points, for the path difference $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ and $\frac{\lambda}{3}$ are $\mathrm{I}_1$ and $\mathrm{I}_2$ respectively. If $\mathrm{I}_0$ denotes the intensity produced by each one of the individual slits then the ratio $\left(\mathrm{I}_1+\mathrm{I}_2\right): \mathrm{I}_0$ is $\left(\cos 45^{\circ}=1 / \sqrt{2}\right)\left(\cos 60^{\circ}=0.5\right)$
In Young's double slit experiment, fringe width is 1.4 mm with light of wavelength $6000 $$\mathop {\rm{A}}\limits^{\rm{o}} $. If the light of wavelength $5400 $$\mathop {\rm{A}}\limits^{\rm{o}} $ is used, with no other change in the experimental set up. The change in fringe width is
In a single slit diffraction experiment, slit of width ' a ' and incident light of wavelength $5600 $$\mathop {\rm{A}}\limits^{\rm{o}} $, the first minimum is observed at angle $30^{\circ}$. The first secondary maximum is observed at angle $\left(\operatorname{Sin} 30^{\circ}=0.5\right)$
In biprism experiment the maximum intensity is ' $\mathrm{I}_0$ '. If the path difference between the two interfering waves is ' $\lambda / 4$ ' then intensity at the point on the screen is
$$ \left[\sin 45^{\circ}=\cos 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right] $$
