    $\frac{(\mu - 1)\lambda}{2}$
  • B
    $(\mu - 1)\lambda$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a transparent plate of thickness $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the beams. What will be the shift in the fringe pattern (in $, cm$)? The distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $100 \, cm$.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,light of wavelength $4800 \, \mathring A$ is used. If both slits are covered by transparent plates of the same thickness $t$ having refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.5$ and $\mu_2 = 1.8$,and the central bright fringe shifts to the position of the fifth bright fringe,then the thickness of the plates is ....... $\mu m$.
