A wave front AB passing through a system C emerges as DE. The system C could be

A

a slit

B

a biprism

C

a prism

D

a glass slab

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

A slit would give divergent, a biprism would give double, a glass slab would give a parallel N100wavefront. Edge is downward.
