The index of refraction of fused quartz is 1.472 for light of wavelength 400 nm and is 1.452 for light of wavelength 760 nm. Find the speeds of light of these wavelengths in fused quartz.

Two narrow slits emitting light in phase are separated by a distance of 1.0 cm. The wavelength of the light is 5.O × 10^-7 m. The interference pattern is observed on a screen placed at u distance of 1.0 m. (a) Find the separation between the consecutive maxima. Can you expect to distinguish between these maxima? (b) Find the separation between the sources which will give a separation of 1.0 mm between the consecutive maxima.
