A plane monochromatic light wave falls normally on an opaque half-plane. A screen is located at a distance `b = 100 cm` behind the half-plane. Making use of the cornu spiral (Fig.) find :
(a) the ratio of intensities of the first maximum and the neighbouring minimum,
(b) the wavelength of light if the first two maxima are separated by a distance `Deltax = 0.63mm`.

A plane monochromatic light falls normally on a diaphragm with two narrow slits separated by a distance d = 2.5 mm. A fringe pattern is formed on the screen placed at D = 100 cm behind the diaphragm. If one of the slits is covered by a glass plate of thickness 10mu m , then distance by which these fringes will be shifted will be :
