(A) The fringe width $\beta$ in a biprism experiment is given by $\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$, where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $D$ is the distance of the screen from the slits, and $d$ is the distance between the virtual sources.Initial state: $\lambda_1 = 5000 	ext{ Å}$, $D_1 = 100 	ext{ cm}$, $\beta_1 = \frac{\lambda_1 D_1}{d}$.Final state: $\lambda_2 = 6400 	ext{ Å}$, $D_2 = D_1 + x$ (or $D_1 - x$), $\beta_2 = \frac{\lambda_2 D_2}{d}$.We are given that $\beta_2 = \beta_1 - 0.20 \beta_1 = 0.80 \beta_1$.Substituting the expressions: $\frac{\lambda_2 D_2}{d} = 0.80 \frac{\lambda_1 D_1}{d}$.$\lambda_2 D_2 = 0.80 \lambda_1 D_1 \implies 6400 	imes D_2 = 0.80 	imes 5000 	imes 100$.$6400 	imes D_2 = 400000 \implies D_2 = \frac{400000}{6400} = 62.5 	ext{ cm}$.Since the new distance $D_2 = 62.5 	ext{ cm}$ is less than the initial distance $D_1 = 100 	ext{ cm}$, the screen must be moved towards the source by $100 - 62.5 = 37.5 	ext{ cm}$.

If prism angle $\alpha = 1^\circ$,refractive index $\mu = 1.54$,distance between screen and prism $b = 0.7\,m$,distance between prism and source $a = 0.3\,m$,and wavelength $\lambda = 180\pi\,nm$,then in a Fresnel biprism,find the value of fringe width $\beta$.

In a biprism experiment,the $6^{\text{th}}$ bright band with wavelength $\lambda_1$ coincides with the $7^{\text{th}}$ dark band with wavelength $\lambda_2$. Then the ratio $\lambda_1 : \lambda_2$ is (other settings remain the same):
