To solve the problem, we need to find the wavelength of light used when a mica sheet is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams in a biprism experiment. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the given data - Thickness of the mica sheet, \( t = 7 \) microns = \( 7 \times 10^{-6} \) meters - Refractive index of mica, \( \mu = 1.6 \) - The central fringe shifts to the position of the 7th bright fringe, so \( n = 7 \). ### Step 2: Calculate the optical path difference ...
