The prism angle of a very thin prism is measured by observing interference fringes as in the Fresnel biprism technique. The distances from slit to prism and from prism to eye are in the ratio of 1:4. Twenty dark fringes are found to span a distance of 0.5 cm when green mercury light is used. If the refractive index of the prism is 1.50, determine the prism angle.
