In a Young's double slit experiment 15 fringes are observed on a small portion of the screen when light of wavelength 500 nm is used. Ten fringes are observed on the same section of the screen when another light source of wavelength $$\lambda $$ is used. Then the value of $$\lambda $$ is (in nm) __________.

The circuit shown below is working as a 8 V dc regulated voltage source. When 12 V is used as input, the power dissipated (in mW) in each diode is; (considering both zener diodes are identical) _________.

In a meter bridge experiment S is a standard resistance. R is a resistance wire. It is found that balancing length is $$l$$ = 25 cm. If R is replaced by a wire of half length and half diameter that of R of same material, then the balancing distance $$l'$$ (in cm) will now be________.

Two steel wires having same length are suspended from a ceiling under the same load. If the ratio of their energy stored per unit volume is 1 : 4, the ratio of their diameters is:
