Question

Figure shows an interferometer known as Fresnel’s biprism. The magnitude of the prism angle A is extremely small. (a) If S0 is a very narrow source slit, show that the separation of the two virtual coherent sources S1 and S2 is given by  d = 2aA(n - 1), where n is the index of refraction of the material of the prism. (b) Calculate the spacing of the fringes of green light with wavelength 500 nm on a screen 2.00 m from the biprism. Take a = 0.200 m, A = 3.50 mrad, and n = 1.50.
