In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,fringes are obtained in the focal plane of an eyepiece at a distance of $1 \ m$ from the slit. $A$ convex lens is placed between the biprism and the eyepiece. The images of the slit are formed at two positions of the lens. The distances between the two images of the slit at these two positions are $4.05 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ and $2.9 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ respectively. Calculate the distance between the slits.

  • A
    $3.43 \times 10^{-3} \ m$
  • B
    $3.75 \times 10^{-3} \ m$
  • C
    $1.23 \times 10^{-4} \ m$
  • D
    $2.33 \times 10^{-3} \ m$

Assertion: Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system when the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass; the central spot of the pattern is bright.
Reason: This is because the reflection in these cases will be from a denser to rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.

Calculate the minimum thickness of a soap film $(n=1.33)$ that results in constructive interference in reflected light, if the film is illuminated with light whose wavelength in free space is $532 \,nm$. (in $\,nm$)
