In a biprism, 21 fringes are distinctly seen on screen at a distance of 1 m, when the sources are 0.5 mm apart, what is the coherent length and coherent time of the set up .(lambda = 6000 Å):

Answer»

`2 xx 10^(-14) sec`
`2 xx 10^(-5) Sec`
`3 xx 10^(-4) Sec`
`3 xx 10^(-5) Sec`

SOLUTION :`Delta`(path difference) = `(xd)/(D)`.
`therefore Delta_(max) = (x_(max).d)/(D)`
For distinct FRINGES, `Delta_(max) = l_(coh)`
Here `x_(max) = 10 beta`
`l_(coh) = Delta_(max) = (10beta d)/(D)`
`therefore l_(coh) = (10d)/(D) .(lambdaD)/(d) = 10 LAMBDA = 6mu m`.
`T_(coh) = (l_(coh))/(C) = (6 xx 10^(-6))/(3 xx 10^(8)) = 2 xx 10^(-14)S`.
