Fractional BI Prism
Product Code : JA-ELA-5327
The Fractional BI Prism (SKU JA-ELA-5327) is a glass biprism listed by JaincoLab as physics lab apparatus for optics work. A biprism is a glass plate whose face forms two prisms of very small angle, so light from a single slit is divided into two coherent beams that produce interference fringes. As a biprism for physics optics it is used on an optical bench in senior school and B.Sc. practicals. The prism angle, size and mounting are confirmed on the quotation.
Specifications
The listing identifies the Fractional BI Prism as a glass biprism for the physics laboratory; the prism angle, plate dimensions and holder are not stated in the listing and are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the biprism in physics optics
A glass biprism is used in optics practicals to divide light from one slit into two coherent beams, so that students can observe interference fringes on an optical bench and work out the wavelength of a monochromatic source from the measured fringe width.
- Interference of light from two virtual coherent sources
- Measuring fringe width with a micrometer eyepiece
- Determining the wavelength of sodium light in B.Sc. physics practicals
- Demonstrating wave optics in senior school physics
