Problem Set - II
Deadline : March 18, 2013
1. A Fresnel biprism with a small angle of refraction is placed at a distance L from the
light source and at a distance l from the screen. Find the number of interference fringes
if the refractive index of the material of the biprism is n and the wavelength is .
2. A diameter is passed through the centre of a thin lens with focal length 10 cm. Parallel
to this diameter, a 1 mm thick plane strip is cut from the lens symmetrically with respect
to the diameter. The remaining parts of the lens are tightly pressed together. Find the
wavelength of the light from a point source located at a distance of 8 cm from the lens if
the distance between adjacent maxima in the interference pattern formed on a screen at
a distance of 160 cm from the lens is 0.3 mm.
3. Diused monochromatic light with = 0.5 m is incident on a thin lm of refractive
index n = 1.5. Find the lm thickness if the rays corresponding to neighbouring maxima
near the angle of reection of 45

form an angle of 2

.
4. Newtons rings are formed between two planoconvex lenses whose convex faces are in
contact. The radii of curvature of these surfaces are R
1
and R
2
. Find the radius of the
m-th dark ring of the reected light. The wavelength of the incident light is .
5. A slit illuminating a Lloyds mirror is placed at a height of 1 cm above its plane and at a
distance of 5.5 m from the screen which is perpendicular to the plane of the mirror and is
in close contact with the later on the side opposite to the light source. The mirror is 50
cm long. Find the distance between maxima in the interference pattern and the number
of bright and dark fringes. The wavelength of light is 0.5 m.
