    halved.
  • B
    unchanged.
  • C
    reduced to $\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{rd}$

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.

The beautiful iridescent (like a rainbow) colors on the wings of a tropical or morpho butterfly are due to

In a biprism experiment, a steady interference pattern is observed on the screen kept at a distance of $100 \text{ cm}$ using a light of wavelength $5000 \text{ Å}$. Without changing the distance between the virtual sources of the slit, the source of light is replaced by a source of wavelength $6400 \text{ Å}$. Now, to reduce the fringe width by $20\%$ of its initial value, the screen should be moved

$A$ 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.

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:
