What is Cornu method?
What is Cornu method?
The Newton’s rings experiment is the basis of Cornu’s method. It involves placing a plano- convex lens on a plane glass reflector, and illuminating it with a monochromatic light which results in formation of alternating bright and dark circular fringes around the point of contact.
How do we get elliptic fringes?
When a plano-convex lens rests on a uniformly bent glass bar, an air film is formed between the two surfaces. Without adding any mass in the weight hanger we get circular rings. But as we uniformly add mass on the weight hangers, the beam bends and we get elliptical fringes.
How many types of elastic constant are there?
The three types of elastic constants are: Modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus (E), Bulk modulus (K) and. Modulus of rigidity or shear modulus (M, C or G).
What is the unit of Young’s modulus?
This is a specific form of Hooke’s law of elasticity. The units of Young’s modulus in the English system are pounds per square inch (psi), and in the metric system newtons per square metre (N/m2).
Why fringes are hyperbolic?
The two foci in the YDSE are the two slits. And, the difference between the distance is essentially the path difference of the light coming from the two slits. Hence, the fringes in YDSE are hyperbolic.
What are 4 elastic constants?
Elastic Constants
- Young’s modulus.
- Bulk modulus.
- Rigidity modulus.
- Poisson’s ratio.
What is Poisson’s ratio unit?
Unit of Poisson’s Ratio Poisson’s ratio is the ration of two strains. Both longitudinal and lateral strain are dimension less. So Poisson’s Ratio is dimensionless. There is no unit for Poisson’s Ratio.
How the elliptical fringes change to Hyperbolic?
The two foci in the YDSE are the two slits. And, the difference between the distance is essentially the path difference of the light coming from the two slits. Hence, the fringes in YDSE are hyperbolic….Verification Code Sent Successfully.

What is Fresnel Biprism experiment?
In Fresnel’s biprism experiment, two prisms which are connected through their bases are used. When monochromatic light of a particular wavelength is allowed to fall on this setup, an interference pattern involving bright and dark fringes is observed on a screen kept on the other side of the biprism.
