To make the central fringe appear at the centre $O,$ a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced. Choose the correct statement:

  • A
    The thickness of the sheet is $2(\sqrt{2}-1)d$ in front of $S_1$.
  • B
    The thickness of the sheet is $(\sqrt{2}-1)d$ in front of $S_2$.
  • C
    The thickness of the sheet is $2\sqrt{2}d$ in front of $S_1$.
  • D
    The thickness of the sheet is $(2\sqrt{2}-1)d$ in front of $S_1$.

If a thin mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 5/3$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams as shown in the figure,then the displacement of the fringe system is:

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 a double slit experiment,the distance between the slits is $0.1 \ cm$ and the screen is placed at $50 \ cm$ from the slits plane. When one slit is covered with a transparent sheet having thickness $t$ and refractive index $n = 1.5$,the central fringe shifts by $0.2 \ cm$. The value of $t$ is . . . . . . $cm$.

In the figure shown,if a parallel beam of white light is incident on the plane of the slits,then the distance of the white spot on the screen from $O$ is [Assume $d << D, \lambda << d$].

Monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen. When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index $= 1.5$), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the $4^{th}$ bright fringe. The thickness of the glass plate is ..................... $\mu m$.
