In a biprism experiment,the distance between the two sources is doubled and the distance between the slit and the eyepiece is also doubled. Then the width of the fringe is

  • A
    halved.
  • B
    unchanged.
  • C
    reduced to $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$
  • D
    doubled.

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

Assertion: Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system when the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass; the central spot of the pattern is bright.
Reason: This is because the reflection in these cases will be from a denser to rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.

When a mica sheet of thickness $7 \ \mu m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.6$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams in a biprism experiment,the central fringe shifts to the position of the $7^{th}$ bright fringe. Find the wavelength of the light used.
