    The document discusses Fresnel's biprism, which consists of two thin acute angled prisms joined at their bases, forming a single prism with an obtuse angle of 179 degrees. When light passes through the biprism, it is refracted to form two virtual sources. The interference pattern produced by these two coherent sources allows the determination of the wavelength of monochromatic light using the formula λ = ßd/D, where λ is the wavelength, ß is the angle between the prisms, d is the distance between the virtual sources, and D is the distance between the virtual sources and the observation screen. The biprism can also be used to determine the thickness of thin

    FRESNEL BIPRISM
    AUGUSTIN-JEAN FRESNEL WAS A FRENCH PHYSICIST
    WHO CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE
    ESTABLISHMENT OF THE WAVE THEORY OF LIGHT AND
    OPTICS.

    HE GAVE A ARRANGEMENT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF


    INTERFERENCE PATTERN WITH THE HELP OF BIPRISM.

    WHAT IS BIPRISM
    BIPRISM CONSISTS OF TWO THIN ACUTE ANGLED PRISMS
    JOINED AT THE BASES. IT IS CONSTRUCTED AS A SINGLE
    PRISM OF OBTUSE ANGLE OF 179O. THE ACUTE ANGLE α
    ON BOTH SIDE IS ABOUT 30ʹ .

    THE PRISM IS PLACED WITH THE REFRACTING EDGE


    PARALLEL TO THE LINE SOURCES S SUCH THAT Sa IS
    NORMAL TO THE bc OF PRISM.
    Principle

    Biprism is based on the phenomenon of interference of


    light waves.

    Working

    D=distance between source of waves & screen.


    d = distance between virtual sources which are
    produced by refraction.
    When the light from source s falls on the
    lower part of biprism,it appears to come
    from virtual source S2 due to refraction.
    Similarly when light from the source S falls
    on the upper part of biprism ,it appears to
    come from the virtual source S1.
    Hence,S1andS2 act as two coherent
    sources.
    The point O on the screen is equidistant
    from source S1 & S2,hence it has
    maximum intensity.On both sides of
    O,alternate dark & bright fringes are
    produced.
    DETERMINATION OF WAVELENGTH OF
    MONOCHROMATIC LIGHT

    APPARATUS
    OBSERVATION

    A convex lens between biprism and eyepiece is


    introduced . The distance between images of S1 and S2
    (d) is measured . From figure it is clear

    𝑑𝑑1/𝑑𝑑 = 𝑣𝑣/𝑢𝑢 = 𝑛𝑛/𝑚𝑚

    md1=nd……….(i)
    Move the lens towards eyepiece and set it to position L2.Measure the
    distance between the two images.From fig

    d2/d=v/u=m/n

    nd2=md…….(ii)

    Multiply eq (i) &(ii) and solving we get:

    D=√(d1d2)

    Putting values of D,ßand d we get

    FORMULA OBTAINED
    λ=ßd/D
    Applications of Fresnel Biprism

     Determination of wavelength(λ) of monochromatic light.

     Determination of thickness of thin sheet of transparent


    material.
     Determination of Interference Fringes.
