A lens of focal length 1 m forms Fraunhofer diffraction pattern of a single slit of width 0.04 cm in its focal plane. The incident light contains two wavelengths λ1 and λ2 . It is found that the fourth minimum corresponding to λ1 and fifth minimum corresponding to λ2 occur at the same point 0.5 cm from central maximum, then λ1 and λ2 are
400 nm, 500 nm
500 nm, 700 nm
700 nm, 500 nm
500 nm, 400 nm

no fringes would be seen
fringe width would decrease
fringe width would increase
fringe width would remain unchanged
In Young's double-slit experiment, the angular width of fringe formed on a distance screen is 0.1°. If wavelength of light is 6000 , then spacing between the slits is
