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

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

In a double-slit experiment,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light source is $400 \ nm$,the slit separation $d$ is $20 \ \mu m$,and the individual slit width $a$ is $4 \ \mu m$. Considering the interference of light from the two slits and the diffraction of light through each slit,find the number of bright interference fringes that lie within the central peak of the diffraction envelope.
