    Decreases by $(\mu - 1)t$
  • B
    Increases by $(\mu - 1)t$
  • C

In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$ (as shown in figure). Now, if two transparent slabs of equal thickness $0.1 \, mm$ but refractive indices $1.51$ and $1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \, \mathring{A})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe spot will shift by $..........$ number of fringes.

In Young's double slit experiment,if the width (aperture) of the source slit $S$ is increased while keeping other parameters constant,then the interference fringes will:

$A$ thin mica sheet of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in the path of the first wave. The wavelength of the wave used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The central bright maximum will shift:

In Young's double slit arrangement,water is filled in the space between the screen and the slits. Then:

In the figure shown in $YDSE$, a parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from a medium of refractive index $n_1$. The wavelength of light in this medium is $\lambda_1$. $A$ transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n_3$ is placed in front of one slit. The medium between the screen and the plane of the slits is $n_2$. The phase difference between the light waves reaching point $O$ (symmetrical, relative to the slits) is:
