$A$ double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium $2$ of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium $1$ of refractive index $n_1(\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. $A$ monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium $1$. $A$ detector is placed in medium $2$ at a large distance from the slits,and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them,so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
$(B)$ The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
$(C)$ The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
$(D)$ The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam,with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.

$A$ thin glass plate of thickness $t = \frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits,the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is

In Young's double-slit experiment,if one slit is made twice as wide as the other instead of having equal widths,then in the interference pattern:

In the $YDSE$ shown,the two slits are covered with thin sheets having thickness $t$ and $2t$,and refractive index $2\mu$ and $\mu$ respectively. Find the position $(y)$ of the central maxima.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a glass slab of thickness $1.2 \, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in front of one slit. Another slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $2.5$ is placed in front of the other slit. If the position of the central fringe remains unchanged,then the thickness $t$ is equal to $...... \, \mu m$.
