In a biprism experiment,a wavelength $\lambda$ is used to obtain an interference pattern. The fringe width is $W_1$ at a distance $D_1$ from the screen. When the screen is moved towards the biprism,the fringe width becomes $W_2$ at a distance $D_2$. The distance between the two virtual images of the slit is:

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda(D_2-D_1)}{(W_1-W_2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda(W_1-W_2)}{(D_1-D_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda(W_2-W_1)}{(D_1-D_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda(D_1-D_2)}{(W_1-W_2)}$

It is necessary to coat a glass lens with a non-reflecting layer. If the wavelength of the light in the coating is $\lambda$,the best choice is a layer of material having an index of refraction between those of glass and air and a thickness of

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,monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. The distance between two coherent sources is kept constant. If the distance between the slit and the eyepiece $(D)$ is varied as $D_{1}, D_{2}, D_{3}$ and $D_{4}$,and the corresponding measured fringe widths are $z_{1}, z_{2}, z_{3}$ and $z_{4}$,then:
