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

The figure shows a double-slit experiment. Each slit has a width $W$. $A$ thin glass slab of thickness $\delta$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The intensity at the central point $C$ is measured as a function of the thickness $\delta$. At what thickness $\delta$ will the intensity at $C$ be minimum?

In Young's double-slit experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu$ and thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of the light ray from the first source $S_1$. By what distance will the fringe pattern be shifted?

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).

In a double slit experiment,when one of the slits is covered by a transparent mica sheet of refractive index $1.56$,the central fringe shifts to the position of $7^{th}$ bright fringe,obtained with both slits uncovered. If the light source wavelength is $450 \text{ nm}$,the thickness of mica sheet is $\alpha \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ monochromatic beam of light falls on a $YDSE$ apparatus at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin sheet of glass of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is inserted in front of the lower slit $S_2$. The central bright fringe (path difference $= 0$) will be obtained:
