In a biprism experiment,the slit separation is $1 \,mm$. Using monochromatic light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$,an interference pattern is obtained on the screen. Where should the screen be moved,so that the change in fringe width is $12.5 \times 10^{-5} \,m$?

  • A
    Away or towards the slit by $25 \,cm$
  • B
    Away or towards the slit by $12.5 \,cm$
  • C
    Away from the slit by $5 \,cm$
  • D
    Towards the slit by $10 \,cm$

In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,the distance between the source and the screen is $1 \, m$ and the distance between the source and the biprism is $10 \, cm$. The wavelength of light is $6000 \, \mathring{A}$. The fringe width is $0.03 \, cm$ and the refracting angle of the biprism is $1^\circ$. Find the refractive index of the material of the biprism.

$A$ 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.

In a Fresnel biprism experiment,the two positions of the lens give separations between the virtual slits as $16 \; cm$ and $9 \; cm$ respectively. What is the actual distance of separation (in $cm$)?
