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. \(\dfrac{I_0}{4}\) 2. \(\dfrac{I_0}{8}\)
3. \(\dfrac{I_0}{16}\) 4. \(\dfrac{I_0}{2}\)

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 center of the screen is:
1. \(0.10~\text{cm}\)
2. \(0.25~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.20~\text{cm}\)

In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation \(d\) between the slits is \(2\) mm, the wavelength \(\lambda\) of the light used is \(5896~\mathring{A}\) and distance \(D\) between the screen and slits is \(100\) 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. \(1.8\) mm
2. \(1.9\) mm
3. \(2.1\) mm
4. \(1.7\) mm
