Fringe width is directly proportional to wavelength and inversely proportional to refractive index.
The formula is given by,
In air, Fringe width, x =
In medium,
where,
d is the distance between the slits and,
D is the distance between the screen and the slit.
Therefore, fringe width decreases by a factor of when placed in the liquid.
A 5 cm long needle is placed 10 cm from a convex mirror of focal length 40 cm. Find the position, nature and size of image of the needle. What happens to the size of the image when the needle is moved further away from the mirror?
An object is placed at a distance of 15 cm from a convex lens of focal length 10 cm. On the other side of the lens, a convex mirror is placed such that its distance, from the lens, equals the focal length of the lens. The image formed by this combination is observed to coincide with the object itself. Find the focal length of the convex mirror.
In the case of convex lens,
Object distance, u = -15 cm
Focal length, f = 10 cm
Now, using the lens formula,
=
i.e., the image is formed at a distance of 30 cm.
For convex mirror,
Object distance,
Image distance,
Now, using mirror formula,
i.e.,
Therefore, focal length of the convex mirror is 100 cm.
