If Fresnel's bi prism experiment as held in water in spite of air, what will be the effect on the fringe width?

Important Questions on Wave Optics












Two coherent point sources and are separated by a small distance as shown in the figure. The fringes obtained on the screen will be


The Young's double slit experiment is performed with blue light and green light of wavelengths and respectively. If is the distance of maxima from the central one, then


In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength the separation of slits is and distance of screen is such that . If the Fringe width is , the distance from point of maximum intensity to the point where intensity falls to half of the maximum intensity on either side is:




In Newton's rings experiment, obtain an expression for the radius of the dark ring.

Two point sources and separated by a distance emit light waves of wavelength in phase. A circular wire of radius is placed around the sources as shown in figure, then ( is the centre of the circle and )
