Question:
In a double slit experiment, when light of wavelength \(400 nm\) was used, the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed \(1 m\) away, was found to be \(0.2°\). What will be the angular width of the first minima, if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? \((\mu_{water}\)\(=\frac43)\)

- A thin transparent film with refractive index 1.4 is held on a circular ring of radius 1.8 cm. The fluid in the film evaporates such that transmission through the film at wavelength 560 nm goes to a minimum every 12 seconds. Assuming that the film is flat on its two sides, the rate of evaporation is:

- Assertion (A): When two waves of equal amplitude and a phase difference of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) interfere, the resulting intensity is equal to the intensity of one wave. Reason (R): In interference, the resultant intensity is always the sum of individual intensities if the phase difference is non-zero.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
