In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $6 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. As a result,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringe widths. Find the wavelength of light in $\mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $4000$
  • B
    $6000$
  • C
    $5000$
  • D
    $2000$

In a biprism experiment using sodium light $\lambda_1 = 6000\, \mathring{A}$,an interference pattern is obtained in which $20$ fringes occupy $2\, cm$. On replacing sodium light by another source of wavelength $\lambda_2$ without making any other change,$30$ fringes occupy $2.7\, cm$ on the screen. What is the value of $\lambda_2$ in $\mathring{A}$?

Light is incident on a glass plate $(\mu = 1.5)$ at an angle of $60^o$. A dark fringe 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 fringe.

White light reflected from a soap film (Refractive Index $\mu = 1.5$) has a maxima at $600 \ nm$ and a minima at $450 \ nm$ with no minimum in between. Then the thickness of the film in units of $10^{-7} \ m$ is:

In Fresnel's biprism $(\mu = 1.5)$ experiment,the distance between the source and the biprism is $0.3\, m$,the distance between the biprism and the screen is $0.7\, m$,and the angle of the prism is $1^\circ$. The fringe width with light of wavelength $6000\ \mathring{A}$ will be: (in $, cm$)
