Light waves of intensities \(I\) and \(9I\) interfere to produce a fringe pattern on a screen. The phase difference between the waves at point \(P\) is \(\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\) and \(2\pi\) at other point \(Q\). The ratio of intensities at \(P\) and \(Q\) is:
1. \(8:5\)
2. \(5:8\)
3. \(1:4\)
4. \(9:1\)

In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is \(\lambda\) is \(K\), (\(\lambda\) being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is \(\frac{\lambda}{4}\) will be:
1. \(K\)
2. \(\frac{K}{4}\)
3. \(\frac{K}{2}\)
4. zero

A beam of light of \(\lambda = 600~\text{nm}\) from a distant source falls on a single slit \(1~\text{mm}\) wide and the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen \(2~\text{m}\) away. The distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright fringe is:
1. \(1.2~\text{cm}\)
2. \(1.2~\text{mm}\)
3. \(2.4~\text{cm}\)
4. \(2.4~\text{mm}\)

If we observe the single slit Fraunhofer diffraction with wavelength \(\lambda\) and slit width \(d\), the width of the central maxima is \(2\theta\). On decreasing the slit width for the same wavelength \(\lambda\):
1. \(\theta\) increases.
2. \(\theta\) remains unchanged.
3. \(\theta\) decreases.
4. \(\theta\) increases or decreases depending on the intensity of light.
