When one of the slits in Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ cm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$,then what is the refractive index of the sheet?

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $3$

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Find the distance $OP$.

In a double slit arrangement,fringes are produced using light of wavelength $4800 \ \mathring A$. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index $1.4$ and the other with another glass plate of the same thickness but of refractive index $1.7$. By doing so,the central bright fringe shifts to the original fifth bright fringe from the center. The thickness of the glass plate is ...... $\mu m$.

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, the aperture screen distance is $2 \, m$. The fringe width is $1 \, mm$. Light of $600 \, nm$ is used. If a thin plate of glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ of thickness $0.06 \, mm$ is placed over one of the slits, then there will be a lateral displacement of the fringes by $... \, cm$.

$A$ thin glass plate of thickness $t = \frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits,the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is
