In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation \(d\) between the slits is \(2~\text{mm}\), the wavelength \(\lambda\) of the light used is \(5896~\mathring{\text{A}}\) and distance \(D\) between the screen and slits is \(100~\text{cm}\). It is found that the angular width of the fringes is \(0.20^{\circ}\). To increase the fringe angular width to \(0.21^{\circ}\) (with same \(\lambda\) and \(D\)) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to:
1. \(1.8~\text{mm}\)
2. \(1.9~\text{mm}\)
3. \(2.1~\text{mm}\)
4. \(1.7~\text{mm}\)
Two polaroids \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) are placed with their axis perpendicular to each other. Unpolarised light of intensity \(I_0\) is incident on \(P_1\). A third polaroid \(P_3\) is kept in between \(P_1\) and \(P_2\) such that its axis makes an angle \(45^\circ\) with that of \(P_1\). The intensity of transmitted light through \(P_2\) is:
1. \(\frac{I_0}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{I_0}{8}\)
3. \(\frac{I_0}{16}\)
4. \(\frac{I_0}{2}\)

A linear aperture whose width is \(0.02\) cm is placed immediately in front of a lens of focal length \(60\) cm. The aperture is illuminated normally by a parallel beam of wavelength \(5\times 10^{-5}\) cm. The distance of the first dark band of the diffraction pattern from the centre of the screen is:
1. \( 0.10 \) cm
2. \( 0.25 \) cm
3. \( 0.20 \) cm
4. \( 0.15\) cm
The intensity at the maximum in Young's double-slit experiment is \(I_0\). The distance between the two slits is \(d= 5\lambda\), where \(\lambda \) is the wavelength of light used in the experiment. What will be the intensity in front of one of the slits on the screen placed at a distance \(D = 10 d\)?
1. \(\frac{I_0}{4}\)
2. \(\frac{3}{4}I_0\)
3. \(\frac{I_0}{2}\)
4. \(I_0\)
