What is the effect on Fresnel's biprism experiment when white light is used?

In a biprism experiment, the fifth dark fringe is obtained at a point. $A$ thin transparent film of refractive index '$\mu$' is placed in one of the interfering paths. Now, the $7^{th}$ bright fringe is obtained at the same point. If '$\lambda$' is the wavelength of light used, the thickness of the film is equal to:

$A$ thin slice is cut out of a glass cylinder along a plane parallel to its axis. The slice is placed on a flat glass plate as shown. The observed interference fringes from this combination shall be

White light may be considered to be a mixture of waves with $\lambda$ ranging between $3900\ \mathring A$ and $7800\ \mathring A$. An oil film of thickness $10,000\ \mathring A$ is examined normally by reflected light. If $\mu = 1.4$,then the film appears bright for

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:
