A spherical soap bubble inside an air chamber at pressure $P_0=10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$ has a certain radius so that the excess pressure inside the bubble is $\Delta P=144 \mathrm{~Pa}$. Now, the chamber pressure is reduced to $8 P_0 / 27$ so that the bubble radius and its excess pressure change. In this process, all the temperatures remain unchanged. Assume air to be an ideal gas and the excess pressure $\Delta P$ in both the cases to be much smaller than the chamber pressure. The new excess pressure $\Delta P$ in $\mathrm{Pa}$ is ______.

In a Young's double slit experiment, each of the two slits A and B, as shown in the figure, are oscillating about their fixed center and with a mean separation of $0.8 \mathrm{~mm}$. The distance between the slits at time $t$ is given by $d=(0.8+0.04 \sin \omega t) \mathrm{mm}$, where $\omega=0.08 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$. The distance of the screen from the slits is $1 \mathrm{~m}$ and the wavelength of the light used to illuminate the slits is $6000$ Å . The interference pattern on the screen changes with time, while the central bright fringe (zeroth fringe) remains fixed at point $O$.

The $8^{\text {th }}$ bright fringe above the point $\mathrm{O}$ oscillates with time between two extreme positions. The separation between these two extreme positions, in micrometer $(\mu \mathrm{m})$, is _________ .

Two particles, 1 and 2, each of mass $m$, are connected by a massless spring, and are on a horizontal frictionless plane, as shown in the figure. Initially, the two particles, with their center of mass at $x_0$, are oscillating with amplitude $a$ and angular frequency $\omega$. Thus, their positions at time $t$ are given by $x_1(t)=\left(x_0+d\right)+a \sin \omega t$ and $x_2(t)=\left(x_0-d\right)-a \sin \omega t$, respectively, where $d>2 a$. Particle 3 of mass $m$ moves towards this system with speed $u_0=a \omega / 2$, and undergoes instantaneous elastic collision with particle 2 , at time $t_0$. Finally, particles 1 and 2 acquire a center of mass speed $v_{\mathrm{cm}}$ and oscillate with amplitude $b$ and the same angular frequency $\omega$.

If the collision occurs at time $t_0=0$, the value of $v_{\mathrm{cm}} /(a \omega)$ will be ______.
