On placing a thin film of mica of thickness $12 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$ in the path of one of the interfering waves in Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light,the fringe pattern shifts through a distance equal to the width of a bright fringe. If the wavelength used is $\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$,the refractive index of mica is:

  • A
    $1.4$
  • B
    $1.1$
  • C
    $1.3$
  • D
    $1.5$

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.

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 . . . . . . .

If a transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is inserted in front of one of the slits of Young's Double Slit experiment,how much will be the shift in the interference pattern? The distance between the slits is $0.5 \, mm$ and that between slits and screen is $100 \, cm$. (Answer in $cm$)

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.
