    Fresnel's Biprism
    • It is an optical device for producing 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 eyepiece.
    • Fringes are of equal width and its value is $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

                                 

    • - Let the separation between $\mathrm{S}_1$ and $\mathrm{S}_2$ be d and the distance of slits and the screen from the biprism be a and b respectively i.e. $D=(a+b)$. If the angle of the prism is $A$ and the refractive index is $\mu_{\text {then }} d=2 a(\mu-1) A$

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