$A$ thin oil film of refractive index $1.2$ floats on the surface of water $(\mu = \frac{4}{3})$. When light of wavelength $\lambda = 9.6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ falls normally on the film from air,it appears dark when seen normally. What is the minimum change in its thickness for which it will appear bright in normally reflected light by the same light?

In a biprism experiment,if the $5^{\text{th}}$ bright band with wavelength $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $6^{\text{th}}$ dark band with wavelength $\lambda_2$,then the ratio $(\lambda_1 / \lambda_2)$ is:

When exposed to sunlight,thin films of oil on water often exhibit brilliant colours due to the phenomenon of

$A$ Fresnel's biprism experiment is performed in water. If the fringe width in air is $\beta_a$,and the refractive indices of the biprism material and water are $1.5$ and $1.33$ respectively,find the new fringe width.
