$A$ 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.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true,and Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.

The thickness of a plate having refractive index $\mu$ which will produce a change in optical path equal to half the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light passing through it is

In a biprism experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. The distance between two coherent sources is kept constant. If the distance between the slit and the eyepiece $(D)$ is varied as $D_{1}, D_{2}, D_{3}$ and $D_{4}$,and the corresponding measured fringe widths are $z_{1}, z_{2}, z_{3}$ and $z_{4}$,then:

This question has a paragraph followed by two statements,Statement $- 1$ and Statement $- 2$. Of the given four alternatives after the statements,choose the one that describes the statements.
$A$ thin air film is formed by putting the convex surface of a plano-convex lens over a plane glass plate. With monochromatic light,this film gives an interference pattern due to light reflected from the top (convex) surface and the bottom (glass plate) surface of the film.
Statement $- 1$: When light reflects from the air-glass plate interface,the reflected wave suffers a phase change of $\pi$.
Statement $- 2$: The centre of the interference pattern is dark.

In two separate setups for a Biprism experiment using the same wavelength,fringes of equal width are obtained. If the ratio of slit separation is $2:3$,then the ratio of the distance between the slit and the screen in the two setups is:
