Biprism, Thin Films & Other Devices

In biprism experiment, 66th bright band with wavelength 'λ1\lambda_1' coincides with 77th dark band with wavelength 'λ2\lambda_2' then the ratio λ1:λ2\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 is (other setting remains the same)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. 6th bright: y=6λ1Ddy = \frac{6\lambda_1 D}{d}; 7th dark: y=13λ2D2dy = \frac{13\lambda_2 D}{2d}.
  2. Equate: 6λ1=6.5λ26\lambda_1 = 6.5\lambda_2.
  3. λ1:λ2=13:12\lambda_1 : \lambda_2 = 13 : 12. So the answer is (b).
