In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,the distance between the source and the screen is $1 \, m$ and the distance between the source and the biprism is $10 \, cm$. The wavelength of light is $6000 \, \mathring{A}$. The fringe width is $0.03 \, cm$ and the refracting angle of the biprism is $1^\circ$. Find the refractive index of the material of the biprism.
