Assertion: Thin films such as a soap bubble or a thin layer of oil on water show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light.
Reason: It happens due to the interference of light reflected from the upper surface of the thin film.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D

In a biprism experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. The distance between the two coherent sources $d$ is kept constant. If the distance between the slit and the eyepiece $D$ is varied as $D_1, D_2, D_3, D_4$ and the corresponding measured fringe widths are $W_1, W_2, W_3, W_4$,then:

In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,fringes are obtained in the focal plane of an eyepiece at a distance of $1 \ m$ from the slit. $A$ convex lens is placed between the biprism and the eyepiece. The images of the slit are formed at two positions of the lens. The distances between the two images of the slit at these two positions are $4.05 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ and $2.9 \times 10^{-3} \ m$ respectively. Calculate the distance between the slits.

White light is incident at an angle of $30^\circ$ on a soap film with a refractive index of $4/3$. The wavelength of the transmitted light is observed to be $6 \times 10^{-5} \, cm$. Find the minimum thickness of the film.
