When petrol leaking from a vehicle falls on a rain-wet road,colours are observed. This is due to the.......... of light.

$A$ parallel coherent beam of light falls on a Fresnel biprism of refractive index $\mu$ and refracting angle $\alpha$. The fringe width on a screen at a distance $D$ from the biprism will be (wavelength $= \lambda$).

In a biprism experiment, the $4^{th}$ dark band is formed opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light used is (where $D$ = distance between source and screen, $d$ = distance between the slits).

Some currency notes (to avoid counterfeits) change their colour as you tilt them. This is due to

In a biprism experiment, a steady interference pattern is observed on the screen kept at a distance of $100 \text{ cm}$ using a light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$. Without changing the distance between the virtual sources of the slit, the source of light is replaced by a source of wavelength $6400 \text{ Å}$. Now, to reduce the fringe width by $20\%$ of its initial value, the screen should be moved

The colours observed in thin soap bubbles are due to
