This question has a paragraph followed by two statements,Statement $- 1$ and Statement $- 2$. Of the given four alternatives after the statements,choose the one that describes the statements.
$A$ thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plano-convex lens over a plane glass plate. With monochromatic light,this film gives an interference pattern due to light reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.
Statement $- 1$: When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface,the reflected wave suffers a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement $- 2$: The centre of the interference pattern is dark.

  • A
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $- 1$.
  • B
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $- 1$.
  • C
    Statement $- 1$ is false,Statement $- 2$ is true.
  • D
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is false.

When petrol leaking from a vehicle falls on a rain-wet road,colours are observed. This is due to the.......... of light.

$A$ parallel coherent beam of light falls on a Fresnel biprism of refractive index $\mu$ and refracting angle $\alpha$. The fringe width on a screen at a distance $D$ from the biprism will be (wavelength $= \lambda$).

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:

$A$ biprism experiment is set up as shown. When the upper half area of the biprism is covered with an opaque material,then:
