In a Young's double slit experiment, if there is no initial phase-difference between the light from the two slits, a point on the screen corresponding to the fifth minimum has path difference.

In a double slit experiment, when light of wavelength $400 nm$ was used, the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed $1 m$ away was found to be $0.2^{\circ}.$ What will be the angular width of the first minima, if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? $({\mu }_{water}=\frac{4}{3})$

An object is placed at a distance of 40 cm from a concave mirror of focal length 15 cm. If the object is displaced through a distance of 20 cm towards the mirror, the displacement of the image will be

Unpolarised light is incident from air on plane surface of a material of refractive index $\mu$. At a particular angle of incident $i$ it is found that the reflected and refracted rays are perpendicular to each other. Which of the following options is correct for this situation?

The refractive index of the materiel of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and the angle of the prism is ${30}^{o}.$ One of the two refracting surface of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is

In Young's double slit experiment the separation $d$ between the slits is $2 mm,$ the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light used is $5896 Å$ and distance $D$ between the screen and slits is $100 cm.$ It is found that the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^{\circ}$. To increase the fringe angular width to ${0.21}^{o}$ (with same $\lambda \text{and} D$) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to

A beam of light from a source $L$ is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance $x$ from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source $L$. When the mirror is rotated through a small angle $\theta$, the spot of the light is found to move through a distance $y$ on the scale. The angle $\theta$ is given by

A thin prism having refracting angle ${10}^{o}$ is made of glass of refractive index 1.42. This prism is combined with another thin prism made of glass of refractive index 1.7. This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of second prism should be

The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is ${45}^{o}$. The angle of prism is ${60}^{o}$. If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of minimum deviation and refractive index of the material of the prism respectively, are:

A astronomical telescope has objective and eyepiece of focal lengths $40 cm$ and $4 cm$ respectively. To view an object $200 cm$ away from the objective, the lenses must be separated by a distance:
