Biprism, Thin Films & Other Devices

In biprism experiment, if 55th bright band with wavelength λ1′\lambda_1' coincides with 66th dark band with wavelength λ2′\lambda_2' then the ratio (λ2λ1)\left(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\right) is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 5th bright: y=5λ1Ddy = \frac{5\lambda_1 D}{d}; 6th dark: y=11λ2D2dy = \frac{11\lambda_2 D}{2d}.
  2. Equate: 5λ1=5.5λ25\lambda_1 = 5.5\lambda_2.
  3. λ2λ1=1011\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1} = \frac{10}{11}. So the answer is (c).
