In a Young's double-slit experiment,a transparent plate of thickness $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the beams. What will be the shift in the fringe pattern (in $, cm$)? The distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $100 \, cm$.

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 a double-slit experiment,instead of taking slits of equal widths,one slit is made twice as wide as the other. Then,in the interference pattern:
