What is the effect on Fresnel's biprism experiment when the use of white light is made?

A

(a) Fringe are affected

B

(b) Diffraction pattern is spread more

C

(c) Central fringe is white and all are coloured

D

(d) None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
With white light, the rays reaching the centre has zero path difference. So we get white fringe at the centre and coloured near the central fringe.
