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).

In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $6 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. As a result,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringe widths. Find the wavelength of light in $\mathring{A}$.

This question has a paragraph followed by two statements,Statement $- 1$ and Statement $- 2$. Of the given four alternatives after the statements,choose the one that describes the statements.
$A$ thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plano-convex lens over a plane glass plate. With monochromatic light,this film gives an interference pattern due to light reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.
Statement $- 1$: When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface,the reflected wave suffers a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement $- 2$: The centre of the interference pattern is dark.

Imperfections in optical lenses can be observed with the help of

In a biprism experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. The distance between two coherent sources $d$ is kept constant. If the distance between the slit and the eyepiece $D$ is varied as $D_1, D_2, D_3$ and $D_4$,and the corresponding measured fringe widths are $Z_1, Z_2, Z_3$ and $Z_4$,then:
