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:

  • A
    $\frac{z_{1}}{D_{1}}=\frac{z_{2}}{D_{2}}=\frac{z_{3}}{D_{3}}=\frac{z_{4}}{D_{4}}$
  • B
    $z_{1} D_{1}=z_{2} D_{2}=z_{3} D_{3}=z_{4} D_{4}$
  • C
    $z_{1} \sqrt{D_{1}}=z_{2} \sqrt{D_{2}}=z_{3} \sqrt{D_{3}}=z_{4} \sqrt{D_{4}}$
  • D
    $z_{1} D_{1}^{2}=z_{2} D_{2}^{2}=z_{3} D_{3}^{2}=z_{4} D_{4}^{2}$

Assertion: Thin films such as a soap bubble or a thin layer of oil on water show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light.
Reason: It happens due to the interference of light reflected from the upper surface of the thin film.

When a mica sheet of thickness $7 \ \mu m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.6$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams in a biprism experiment, the central fringe shifts to the position of the seventh bright fringe. The wavelength of the light used is $............ \ \mathring{A}$.

Assertion: Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system when the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass; the central spot of the pattern is bright.
Reason: This is because the reflection in these cases will be from a denser to rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.
