In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength $\lambda ,$ the fringe pattern on the screen has a fringe width $\beta .$ When two thin transparent glass (refractive index $\mu$) plates of thickness $t_1$ and $t_2$ $(t_1 > t_2)$ are placed in the path of the two beams respectively,the fringe pattern will shift by a distance:

  • A
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda }\left( \frac{t_1}{t_2} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu \beta }{\lambda }\frac{t_1}{t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda }(t_1 - t_2)$
  • D
    $\frac{(\mu - 1)\lambda }{\beta }(t_1 + t_2)$

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

When one of the slits of Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $4.8 \, mm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. What should be the thickness of the sheet if the central fringe has to shift to the position occupied by the $20^{th}$ bright fringe?

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 ......... $\mathring{A}$.

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:

In a standard $YDSE$ setup,a small transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (as shown in the figure). Given that the slab thickness $t = d/4$,where $d$ is the slit separation,and the distance from the source $A$ to the slits is not explicitly needed for the shift calculation,find the position of the central maxima on the screen relative to $O$. Assume the distance between the slits and the screen is $D$.
