A mixture of light, consisting of wavelength and an unknown wavelength, illuminates Young's double slit and gives rise to two overlapping interference patterns on the screen. The central maximum of both lights coincide. Further, it is observed that the third bright fringe of known light coincides with the 4th bright fringe of unknown light. From this data, the wavelength of the unknown light is
In Young's double slit experiment, the maximum with wavelength is at a distance from the central maximum and the maximum with a wavelength is at a distance . Then is equal to
Unpolarised light falls on two polarizing sheets placed one on top of the other. What must be the angle between the characteristic directions of the sheets if the intensity of the final transmitted light is one-third the maximum intensity of the first transmitted beam
