Q.

A lens of focal length f=40 cm is cut along the diameter in two identical halves. In this process, a layer of the lens t=1mm in thickness is lost, then the halves are put together to form a composite lens. In between the focal plane and the composite lens, a narrow slit is placed, near the focal plane. The slit is emitting monochromatic light with wavelength λ=0.6μm. Behind the lens a screen is located at a distance L=0.5m from it. Find the fringe width and number of visible maxima.

Detailed Solution

From lens equation, we have

v=uff-u  (v lines on the left side)

d=2t2uv-1=tuf-u

D=L+v=L+uff-u

Fringe width,

ω=λDd=λL+uf-utuf-u;  or   ω=λtf+L(f-u)u

as  uf.   ω=λft

A lens of focal length f is cut along the diameter into two identical  halevs. In this process, a layer of the lens t in thickness is lost, then  the halves are

From figure, yL-f=t/2fy=t/2f(L-f)

Distance of the point up to which interference occurs,

y0=t/2f(L-f)+t2=tL2f

Number of visible maxima=tL.t2f×λf=Lt22λf2
