In the ideal double-slit experiment,when a glass plate (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) of thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams (wavelength $\lambda$),the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The minimum thickness of the glass plate is:

  • A
    $2\lambda$
  • B
    $2\lambda/3$
  • C
    $\lambda/3$
  • D
    $\lambda$

In Young's double slit interference experiment,the slit separation is made $3$ folds. The fringe width becomes ......... times.

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement-$1$: In Young's double slit experiment,the number of fringes observed in the field of view is small with longer wavelength of light and is large with shorter wavelength of light.
Statement-$2$: In the double slit experiment,the fringe width depends directly on the wavelength of light.

$A$ student is asked to measure the wavelength of monochromatic light. He sets up the apparatus as shown in the figure. $S_1, S_2, S_3$ are narrow parallel slits,$L$ is a sodium lamp,and $M$ is a microscope eyepiece. The student fails to observe interference fringes. Your first advice to him will be:
