In Fresnel's biprism experiment a mica sheet of refractive index 1.5 and thickness `6xx10^(-6)m` is palced in the path of one of interfering beams as a result of which the central fringe gets shifted through five fringe widths. Then calculate the wavelength of light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x=((mu-1)tbeta)/(lamda)=((1.5-1)tbeta)/(lamda)`
but, `t=5betatherefore5beta=(0.5tbeta)/(lamda)implieslamda=(t)/(10)=(6xx10^(-6))/(10)=6000Å`
