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.

  • A
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is the correct explanation of Statement $- 1$.
  • B
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement $- 1$.
  • C
    Statement $- 1$ is false,Statement $- 2$ is true.
  • D
    Statement $- 1$ is true,Statement $- 2$ is false.

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

What causes changes in the colours of soap or oil films for a given beam of light?

In a biprism experiment, the $4^{th}$ dark band is formed opposite to one of the slits. The wavelength of light used is (where $D$ = distance between source and screen, $d$ = distance between the slits).

It is necessary to coat a glass lens with a non-reflecting layer. If the wavelength of the light in the coating is $\lambda$,the best choice is a layer of material having an index of refraction between those of glass and air and a thickness of

In two separate setups for a Biprism experiment using the same wavelength,fringes of equal width are obtained. If the ratio of slit separation is $2:3$,then the ratio of the distance between the slit and the screen in the two setups is:
