    Fresnel’s Bi-prism; measurement of wavelength of light

    Optics Series Lecture, Lecture – XI “Fresnel’s Bi-prism: measurement of wavelength of light by it.” Today we will discuss another interesting interference set-up, now that we have discussed the Young’s double slit experiment, in lecture – IX. A few words about the general mechanism behind interference. There are two kinds of interference basically that we…
