    Fresnel's Biprism
    • It is an optical device of produces interference of light Fresnel's biprism is made by joining base to base two thin prism of very small angle.
    • When a monochromatic light source is kept in front of biprism two coherent virtual source S1 and S2 are produced.
    • Interference fringes are found on the screen placed behind the biprism interference fringes are formed in the limited region which can be observed with the help eye piece.
    • Fringes are of equal width and its value is  $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

    • Let the separation between $S_1$ and $S_2$ be $d$ and the distance of slits and the screen from the biprism be a and b respectively i.e. $D=(a+b)$. If angle of prism is $A$ and refractive index is $\mu$ then $d=2 a(\mu-1) A$

      $$
      \lambda=\frac{\beta[2 a(\mu-1) A]}{(a+b)} \Rightarrow \beta=\frac{(a+b) \lambda}{2 a(\mu-1) A}
      $$
