In a double slit experiment,when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits,the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used).

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

In Young's double-slit experiment,a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $5 \times 10^{-4} \,cm$ is kept in the path of one of the light rays. Then

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 $...... \, \mu m$.

As shown in the figure,in Young's double slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $t = 10\,\mu m$ and refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.2$ is inserted in front of slit $S_1$. The experiment is conducted in air $(\mu = 1)$ and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 500\,nm$. Due to the insertion of the plate,the central maxima is shifted by a distance of $x\beta_0$,where $\beta_0$ is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of $x$ is $.............$
