In a bi prism experiment, fringes were obtained with a monochromatic source of light. The eye-piece was kept at a distance of 1 m from the slit and the bandwidth was measured. When another monochromatic source was used without disturbing the arrangement, the same bandwidth was obtained when the eye-piece was at 80 cm From the slit. Calculate the ratio of wavelengths of light from two sources.
