A Young's double-slit experiment is performed using monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$. The intensity of light at a point on the screen, where the path difference is $\lambda$, is $K$ units. The intensity of light at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda }{6}$ is given by $\frac{\mathrm{nK}}{12}$, where $n$ is an integer. The value of $n$ is

A polarizer - analyser set is adjusted such that the intensity of light coming out of the analyser is just $36%$ of the original intensity. Assuming that the polarizer - analyser set does not absorb any light, the angle by which the analyser needs to be rotated further, to reduce the output intensity to zero, is $({\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}(\frac{3}{5})=37^{\circ})$

Interference fringes are observed on a screen by illuminating two thin slits $1\mathrm{mm}$ apart with a light source $(\lambda =632.8\mathrm{nm})$. The distance between the screen and the slits is $100\mathrm{cm}$. If a bright fringe is observed on a screen at distance of $1.27\mathrm{mm}$ from the central bright fringe, then the path difference between the waves, which are reaching this point from the slits is close to :
