If a biprism experiment is immersed in water,and the fringe width in air is $\beta_a$,find the new fringe width if the refractive index of the biprism material is $1.5$ and the refractive index of water is $1.33$.

When exposed to sunlight,thin films of oil on water often exhibit brilliant colours due to the phenomenon of

In a biprism experiment,the $4^{\text{th}}$ dark band is formed opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light used is ($D=$ distance between source and screen,$d=$ distance between the slits).

If Fresnel's biprism experiment is performed in water instead of air,what will be the effect on the fringe width?

To ensure almost $100$ per cent transmittivity,photographic lenses are often coated with a thin layer of dielectric material. The refractive index of this material is intermediate between that of air and glass (which makes the optical element of the lens). $A$ typically used dielectric film is $MgF_2$ $(n = 1.38)$. What should the thickness of the film be so that at the center of the visible spectrum $5500 \, \mathring{A}$ there is maximum transmission?
