what is llyod's mirror and why the condition of maximum intensity and minimum intensity are interchanged?

Lloyd's mirror is a classic optics experiment and was first described in 1834 and again in 1837 by Humphry Lloyd . In the experiment, light from a monochromatic slit source reflects from a glass surface at a small angle and appears to come from a virtual source as a result. The reflected light interferes with the direct light from the source, forming interference fringes.

Lloyd’s Mirror also produces interference, but has a dark band where we would have expected a bright one!

 

Reason: light suffered a 180° phase change upon reflection.

In Young's double slit experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.28mm and the screen is placed at a distance of 1.4m away from the slits. the distance between the centre fringe and the fifth dark fringe is measured to be 1.35cm . calculate the wavelength of light used. Also find the fringe width if the screen is moved 0.4m towards the slits, for the same experiment set up.

A parallel beam of light of wavelength 600 nm is incident normally on a slit of width 0.2 mm. If the resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 1 m away, find the distance of (i) First minimum, and (ii) Second maximum, from the central maximum.

if separation between the two slits is increased till fringes are observed then what will happen to angular separation of fringes (my thought is here  fringes are not observed  and they are increasing till fringes show up ...so until then what will happen to angular width if we increase d-slit separation..does angular width increases or remains same
