1. Assertion (A): The central fringe is bright or dark, it depends on the initial phase difference between the two coherent sources. Reason (R): The pattern and position of fringes always remains same even after the introduction of transparent medium in a path of one of the slit.  
2. White light is used to illuminate the two silts in a Young’s double slit experiment. The separation between the slits is b and the screen is at a distance d (> > b) from the slits. At a point on the screen directly in front of one of the slits, certain wavelengths are missing. Some of these missing wavelengths are :
3. Four harmonic waves of equal frequencies and equal intensities I0 have phase angles 0, π/3, 2π/3 and π . When they are superposed, the intensity of the resulting wave is nI0. The value of n is
4. In YDSE setup, light of wavelength 640 nm is used with d = 0.8 m m and D = 1m . If intensity at central maxima is I0 and it's position is y = 0,
5. Assertion (A): In standard YDSE experiment if upper slit is slightly moved downward then central maxima shifts downward. Reason (R): Fringe width in such case will increase.
