Optics

1. Two glass plates enclosing a wedge-shaped air film touching at one edge are
separated by a wire of 0.03 mm diameter at a distance of 15 cm from the edge.
Monochromatic light of wavelength 6000 Å from a broad source falls normally
on the film. Calculate the fringe width.
(Ans. 0.15 cm)

2. Two pieces of plane glass are placed together with a piece of paper between
the two at one edge. If on viewing the film with a light of wavelength 6000 Å
falling normally on it there are 10 fringes per centimetre, calculate the angle of
the wedge.
(Ans. 61.9 s)
3. Find the thickness of a wedge-shaped air film at a point where the fourth
bright fringe is situated. Wavelength of sodium light is 5893 Å.

wavelength of the light used.
(Ans. 4656 Å)

liquid between the plane and curved surface. If the diameter of the fifth bright
ring is 3 mm and the radius of curvature of the curved surface is 1 m, calculate
the refractive index of the liquid.
(Ans. 1.179)
7. Newton's rings are formed with reflected light (A = 5890 Å) using a
planoconvex lens and a plane glass plate with a liquid between them. The

(Ans. (i) 1.335 mm, (ii) 1.268 mm)

reflection appears dark. Find the minimum thickness of the film.

wavelengths 4000 Å and 5000 Å.

single slit diffraction process is nearly 4.5 % of the principal maxima.
