Fringe width B=dDλ And number of fringes observed in the field of view is obtained by λd
This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements. Statement-1: In Young's double slit experiment, the number of fringes observed in the field of view is small with longer wavelength of light and is large with shorter wavelength of light. Statement-2: In the double slit experiment the fringe width depends directly on the wavelength of light.

When an unpolarized light falls at a particular angle on a glass plate (placed in air), it is observed that the reflected beam is linearly polarized. The angle of refracted beam with respect to the normal is $\_\_\_\_$. $\left(\tan ^{-1}(1.52)=57.7^{\circ}\right.$, refractive indices of air and glass are 1.00 and 1.52, respectively.)
In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is β. If the wavelength of light is doubled and the slit separation is halved, the new fringe width is:
A biconvex lens is formed by using two thin planoconvex lenses, as shown in the figure. The refractive index and radius of curved surfaces are also mentioned in figure. When an object is placed on the left side of lens at a distance of 30 cm from the biconvex lens, the magnification of the image will be : 
A collimated beam of light of diameter 2 mm is propagating along $x$-axis. The beam is required to be expanded in a collimated beam of diameter 14 mm using a system of two convex lenses. If first lens has focal length 40 mm, then the focal length of second lens is $\_\_\_\_$ mm.
Light ray incident along a vector $\vec{AO}$ $(\vec{AO} = 2\hat{i}-3\hat{j})$ emerges out along vector $\vec{OB}$ $(\vec{OB} = C\hat{i}-4\hat{j})$ as shown in the figure below. The value of $C$ is ________.
