What is the minimum thickness of a thin film required for constructive interference in the reflected light from it ? Given, the refractive index of the film = 1.5, wavelength of the light incident on the film = 600 nm.

In the doble slit experiment the fringe width with light of wave length lambda is 0.150 mm. What is the minimum width of each slit so that the interference pattern is visible ?

In Young’s double slit experiment, carried out with light of wave length lambda = 5000 overset@A , the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the screen is at 200 cm from the slits. The central maximum is at x = 0 . The third maximum (taking central maximum as zeroth maximum) will be at what value of x ?

In a certain region of a thin film we get 6 fringes with light of wavelength 500 nm. How many fringes will we get in same region with wavelength 600 nm ?

In a double slit interference experiment, d is the separation of the slits and D is the distance of the screen from the plane of the slits. When white light is used, a dark band of wavelength lambda is formed, directly in front of one of the slits. Then the value of lambda is
