Young's double-slit experiment is conducted with light of an unknown wavelength, the waves arriving at the central point on the screen are found to have a phase difference of \(\dfrac{\pi}{2}.\) The closest maximum to the central point is formed behind one of the slits. The separation between the slits is \(d,\) and the slit to screen separation is \(D.\) The longest wavelength for this to happen is:

Light of wavelength \(\lambda\) falls perpendicularly onto a single slit of width \(d.\) A diffraction maximum is formed at \(P \) on a faraway screen placed parallel to plane of the slit. The first diffraction minimum is formed at \(Q,\) as shown on the screen. Let \(C\) be a 'point' so that it divides the slit \(AB \) in the ratio \(\dfrac{AC}{CB}=\dfrac12, \) i.e. \(AC\) represents the upper \(\dfrac13^{\text{rd}}\) of the slit. The total amplitude of the oscillation arriving from \(AC\) at \(Q\) is \(A_1\) and from \(CB\) at \(Q\) is \(A_2.\)
Then:
1. \(2 A_{1}=A_{2}\)
2. \(A_{1}=2 A_{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2} A_{1}=A_{2}\)
4. \(A_{1}=A_{2}\)
Then:
1. \(2 A_{1}=A_{2}\)
2. \(A_{1}=2 A_{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2} A_{1}=A_{2}\)

Plane waves of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) are incident onto a convex lens, and the beam is brought to a focus. A plane slab of thickness \(t\) having refractive indices \(\mu_1,~\mu_2\) in the upper and lower halves is placed parallel to the incoming wavefronts.
