In a Young's double-slit experiment,a glass slab of thickness $1.2 \, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in front of one slit. Another slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $2.5$ is placed in front of the other slit. If the position of the central fringe remains unchanged,then the thickness $t$ is equal to $...... \, \mu m$.

In a $YDSE$,light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is used,which emerges in phase from two slits separated by a distance $d = 3 \times 10^{-7} \; m$. $A$ transparent sheet of thickness $t = 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \; m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.17$ is placed over one of the slits. What is the new angular position of the central maxima of the interference pattern,and what is its linear position $y$ from the center of the screen?
