TWO BEAM INTERFERENCE SK005/SN629

 

Exp-1 To determine the wavelength of monochromatic light source using Fresnel’s biprism.
Exp-2 To determine the wavelength of monochromatic light source using Fresnel’s mirror.

  • All uprights are Mounted on specially designed hexagonal optical bench with locking arrangements for precise positioning.
  • Additional support at center of the optical bench minimizes the possibility of sagging.
  • Interference.
  • Fresnel biprism.
  • Fresnel mirror.
  • Wave length.
  • Virtual light source.

Principle and Working :

Fresnel's Biprism and Fresnel's Mirror can be used to create two Virtual coherent light sources and observe interference phenomenon. Monochromatic light in these experiments is produced by sodium light source or He-Ne laser. The wavelength (λ) can be determined by the formula

λ = βd/D

where, β is the fringe width,
D is the distance between virtual source and screen or eyepiece, and
d is the distance between two virtual sources.
