In a biprism experiment,monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is used. The distance between the two coherent sources $d$ is kept constant. If the distance between the slit and the eyepiece $D$ is varied as $D_1, D_2, D_3, D_4$ and the corresponding measured fringe widths are $W_1, W_2, W_3, W_4$,then:

  • A
    $W_1 D_1 = W_2 D_2 = W_3 D_3 = W_4 D_4$
  • B
    $\frac{W_1}{D_1} = \frac{W_2}{D_2} = \frac{W_3}{D_3} = \frac{W_4}{D_4}$
  • C
    $W_1 \sqrt{D_1} = W_2 \sqrt{D_2} = W_3 \sqrt{D_3} = W_4 \sqrt{D_4}$
  • D
    $D_1 \sqrt{W_1} = D_2 \sqrt{W_2} = D_3 \sqrt{W_3} = D_4 \sqrt{W_4}$

White light reflected from a soap film (Refractive Index $\mu = 1.5$) has a maxima at $600 \ nm$ and a minima at $450 \ nm$ with no minimum in between. Then the thickness of the film in units of $10^{-7} \ m$ is:

$A$ thin transparent film with refractive index $1.4$ is held on a circular ring of radius $1.8 \ cm$. The fluid in the film evaporates such that transmission through the film at wavelength $560 \ nm$ goes to a minimum every $12 \ seconds$. Assuming that the film is flat on its two sides, the rate of evaporation is . . . . . . $\pi \times 10^{-13} \ m^3/s$.
