In a double slit experiment,when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits,the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used).

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

While conducting the Young's double slit experiment,a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the $x-y$ plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources $(S_1, S_2)$ emitting light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the $x-z$ plane (for $z>0$) at a distance $D=3 \ m$ from the mid-point of $S_1 S_2$,as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources $d=0.6003 \ mm$. The origin $O$ is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining $S_1 S_2$. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?
$(A)$ Straight bright and dark bands parallel to the $x$-axis
$(B)$ The region very close to the point $O$ will be dark
$(C)$ Hyperbolic bright and dark bands with foci symmetrically placed about $O$ in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ Semi circular bright and dark bands centered at point $O$
