In a biprism experiment, the fifth dark fringe is obtained at a point. $A$ thin transparent film of refractive index '$\mu$' is placed in one of the interfering paths. Now, the $7^{th}$ bright fringe is obtained at the same point. If '$\lambda$' is the wavelength of light used, the thickness of the film is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{1.5(\mu - 1)\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{1.5 \lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$
  • C
    $\frac{2.5(\mu - 1)\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2.5 \lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$

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.

$A$ mixture of yellow light of wavelength $580 \ nm$ and blue light of wavelength $450 \ nm$ is incident normally on an air film of thickness $2.9 \times 10^{-4} \ mm$. The colour of reflected light is

$A$ circular planar wire loop is dipped in a soap solution and after taking it out,held with its plane vertical in air. Assuming the thickness of the film at the top is very small,as sunlight falls on the soap film,the observer receives reflected light. What does the observer see?

$A$ plano-convex lens is placed with its curved surface on a plane glass plate,creating a thin air film. With monochromatic light,this thin film produces an interference pattern due to reflections from the top curved surface and the bottom glass plate surface.
Statement-$1$: When light is reflected from the air-glass plate interface,it undergoes a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement-$2$: The center of the interference pattern is dark.

$A$ 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.
