Assertion: At the first glance,the top surface of the Morpho butterfly's wing appears a beautiful blue-green. If the wind moves the colour changes.
Reason: Different pigments in the wing reflect light at different angles.

Light is incident on a glass plate $(\mu = 1.5)$ such that the angle of refraction is $60^\circ$. $A$ dark band is observed corresponding to a wavelength of $6000 \, \mathring A$. If the thickness of the glass plate is $1.2 \times 10^{-3} \, mm$,find the order of the interference band.

In a biprism experiment,the distance of the second dark fringe from the central fringe is $3 \ mm$. The distance of the sixth bright fringe from the central fringe is (in $mm$)

$A$ thin film of soap solution $(n = 1.4)$ lies on the top of a glass plate $(n = 1.5)$. When visible light is incident almost normal to the plate,two adjacent reflection maxima are observed at two wavelengths $420 \ nm$ and $630 \ nm$. The minimum thickness of the soap solution is.....$nm$

$A$ thin slice is cut out of a glass cylinder along a plane parallel to its axis. The slice is placed on a flat glass plate with the curved surface downwards. Monochromatic light is incident normally from the top. The observed interference fringes from this combination do not follow one of the following statements.
