    Decreases by $(\mu - 1)t$
  • B
    Increases by $(\mu - 1)t$
  • C
    Does not change

In the figure shown,if a parallel beam of light is incident on the plane of the slits at an angle such that the path difference at point $O$ is $\Delta x = d \sin \theta = d \cdot (\frac{2d/3}{d}) = \frac{2d}{3}$,and if point $O$ is a maxima for monochromatic light,then which of the following cannot be the wavelength of the incident light? [Assume $d << D, \lambda << d$]

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

The slits in a double-slit interference experiment are illuminated by orange light $(\lambda = 600 \ nm)$. $A$ thin transparent plastic sheet of thickness $t$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The number of fringes $(N)$ shifting on the screen is plotted versus the refractive index $\mu$ of the plastic in the graph shown. The value of $t$ is

In a double slit arrangement,fringes are produced using light of wavelength $4800 \ \mathring A$. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index $1.4$ and the other with another glass plate of the same thickness but of refractive index $1.7$. By doing so,the central bright fringe shifts to the original fifth bright fringe from the center. The thickness of the glass plate is ...... $\mu m$.
