Biprism, Thin Films & Other Devices

In a Fresnel biprism experiment, the two positions of lens give separation between the slits as 16 cm and 9 cm respectively. What is the actual distance of separation?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Displacement method: actual separation d=d1d2d = \sqrt{d_1 d_2}.
  2. d=16×9=12 cmd = \sqrt{16 \times 9} = 12\ \text{cm}.
  3. So the answer is (d) 12 cm.
