Biprism, Thin Films & Other Devices
In a biprism experiment, a steady interference pattern is observed on the screen kept at a distance of 100 cm using a light of wavelength Å. Without changing the distance between the virtual images of the slit, the source of light is replaced by a source of wavelength Å. Now, to reduce the fringe width by of its initial value, the screen should be moved
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- , fixed. Required: .
- .
- Screen must move cm closer.
- So the answer is (a) towards the source by 37.5 cm.
