$A$ thin transparent film with refractive index $1.4$ is held on a circular ring of radius $1.8 \ cm$. The fluid in the film evaporates such that transmission through the film at wavelength $560 \ nm$ goes to a minimum every $12 \ seconds$. Assuming that the film is flat on its two sides, the rate of evaporation is . . . . . . $\pi \times 10^{-13} \ m^3/s$.

$A$ parallel beam of light of intensity $I_0$ is incident on a glass plate. $25 \%$ of light is reflected by the upper surface and $50 \%$ of light is reflected from the lower surface. The ratio of maximum to minimum intensity in the interference region of the reflected rays is

In a biprism experiment,a steady interference pattern is observed on the screen using light of wavelength $\lambda_1 = 5000 \ Å$. Without disturbing the setup of the experiment,the source of light is replaced by a source of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 6400 \ Å$. The fringe width will:

White light is incident at an angle of $30^\circ$ on a soap film with a refractive index of $4/3$. The wavelength of the transmitted light is observed to be $6 \times 10^{-5} \, cm$. Find the minimum thickness of the film.

In a biprism experiment using sodium light $\lambda_1 = 6000\, \mathring{A}$,an interference pattern is obtained in which $20$ fringes occupy $2\, cm$. On replacing sodium light by another source of wavelength $\lambda_2$ without making any other change,$30$ fringes occupy $2.7\, cm$ on the screen. What is the value of $\lambda_2$ in $\mathring{A}$?
