$A$ plate of thickness $t$ made of a material of refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a double slit experiment. What should be the minimum thickness $t$ for which the intensity at the centre of the fringe pattern is zero?

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

Consider the figure (not drawn to scale) in which a converging lens of radius $R = 1 \ cm$ and focal length $f = 20 \ cm$ is cut in the middle. The upper part is lifted up by $d = 1 \ mm$ and the lower part is pulled down by the same distance. The gap between them is blocked by an opaque sheet. $A$ point light source with wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ is placed on the optical axis at a distance of $2f$ from the split lens. $A$ large screen is placed at $L = 1 \ m$ from the right focus of the lens. Find the approximate number of interference fringes on the screen.
