Question
In figure , S is a monochromatic point source emitting light of wavelength A = 500nm A thin lens of circular
shape and focal length 0.10m is cut into two identical halves L3 and L2 by a plane passing through a
diameter. The two halves are placed symmetrically about the central axis So with a gap of 0.5mm. The
distance along the axis from S to L1 and L2 is 0.15m while that from Li and L2 to O is 1.30m. The
screen at O is normal to SO.
If the gap between Li and L2 is reduced from its original value of 0.5mm, will the distance OA increase,
decrease, or remain the same?
