If prism angle $\alpha = 1^\circ$,refractive index $\mu = 1.54$,distance between screen and prism $b = 0.7\,m$,distance between prism and source $a = 0.3\,m$,and wavelength $\lambda = 180\pi\,nm$,then in a Fresnel biprism,find the value of fringe width $\beta$.

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.
