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:

  • A
    $W_1 D_1 = W_2 D_2 = W_3 D_3 = W_4 D_4$
  • B
    $\frac{W_1}{D_1} = \frac{W_2}{D_2} = \frac{W_3}{D_3} = \frac{W_4}{D_4}$
  • C
    $W_1 \sqrt{D_1} = W_2 \sqrt{D_2} = W_3 \sqrt{D_3} = W_4 \sqrt{D_4}$
  • D
    $D_1 \sqrt{W_1} = D_2 \sqrt{W_2} = D_3 \sqrt{W_3} = D_4 \sqrt{W_4}$

In a Fresnel biprism experiment,the eyepiece is placed at a distance of $120 \, cm$ from the source. The distance between the two virtual images is found to be $0.075 \, cm$. If the eyepiece is moved by $1.92 \, cm$ to cross $20$ fringes in the field of view,what is the wavelength of light in $\mathop A\limits^o$?

$A$ plano-convex lens is placed with its curved surface on a plane glass plate,creating a thin air film. With monochromatic light,this thin film produces an interference pattern due to reflections from the top curved surface and the bottom glass plate surface.
Statement-$1$: When light is reflected from the air-glass plate interface,it undergoes a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement-$2$: The center of the interference pattern is dark.
