In Young's double slit experiment, a third slit is made in between the double slits. Then

• intensity of fringes totally disappears

• only bright light is observed on the screen

• fringes of unequal width are formed

• contrast between bright and dark fringes is reduced

In a two slit experiment with monochromatic light fringes are obtained on a screen placed at some distance from the slits. If the screen is moved by 5 x 10^-2 m towards the slits, the change in fringe width is 3 x 10^-5 m. If separation between the slits is 10^-3 m, the wavelength of light used is

• $6000 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $5000 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $3000 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

• $4500 \stackrel{\circ }{\mathrm{A}}$

In a Fraunhofer diffraction experiment at a single slit using a light of wavelength 400 nm, the first minimum is formed at an angle of 30°. The direction θ of the first secondary maximum is given by

• ${\sin }^{-1} \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$

• ${\sin }^{-1} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$

• ${\sin }^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$

• ${\tan }^{-1} \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
