The thickness of a plate having refractive index $\mu$ which will produce a change in optical path equal to half the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light passing through it is

$A$ biprism experiment is set up as shown. When the upper half area of the biprism is covered with an opaque material,then:

In a biprism experiment using sodium light $\lambda_1 = 6000\, \mathring{A}$,an interference pattern is obtained in which $20$ fringes occupy $2\, cm$. On replacing sodium light by another source of wavelength $\lambda_2$ without making any other change,$30$ fringes occupy $2.7\, cm$ on the screen. What is the value of $\lambda_2$ in $\mathring{A}$?

In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $6 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. As a result,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringe widths. Find the wavelength of light in $\mathring{A}$.

$A$ ray of light of intensity $I$ is incident on a parallel glass slab at a point $A$ as shown in the figure. It undergoes partial reflection and refraction. At each reflection,$25\%$ of the incident energy is reflected. The rays $AB$ and $A^1B^1$ undergo interference. The ratio $I_{\text{max}} / I_{\text{min}}$ is (in $: 1$)
