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?

  • A
    $\frac{(2n - 1)\lambda}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda}{2(\mu - 1)}$
  • C
    $\frac{(2n - 1)\lambda}{2(\mu - 1)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$

$A$ monochromatic beam of light falls on a $YDSE$ apparatus at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin sheet of glass of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is inserted in front of the lower slit $S_2$. The central bright fringe (path difference $= 0$) will be obtained:

Interference fringes were produced in Young's double slit experiment using light of wavelength $5000 \, Å$. When a film of material $2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, cm$ thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by a distance equal to $20$ fringe widths. The refractive index of the material of the film is

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:

In $YDSE$, a thin film $(\mu=1.6)$ of thickness $0.01 \,mm$ is introduced in the path of one of the two interfering beams. The central fringe moves to a position occupied by the $10^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe earlier. The wavelength of the wave is ......... $\mathring{A}$.

Young's double slit experiment is conducted in a liquid of refractive index $\mu_1$ as shown in the figure. $A$ thin transparent slab of refractive index $\mu_2$ and thickness $t$ is placed in front of the slit $S_2$. The magnitude of the optical path difference at point $O$ is
