In Young's double-slit experiment,a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $5 \times 10^{-4} \,cm$ is kept in the path of one of the light rays. Then

  • A
    There will be no shift in the interference pattern
  • B
    The fringe width will increase
  • C
    The fringe width will decrease
  • D
    The optical path of the ray will increase by $2.5 \times 10^{-4} \,cm$

When one of the slits in Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $3.6 \times 10^{-3} \ cm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. If $\lambda = 6000 \ \mathring{A}$,then what is the refractive index of the sheet?

In $YDSE$,the source $S$ placed symmetrically with respect to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is now moved parallel to the plane of the slits so that it is closer to the upper slit $S_1$,as shown. Then,

$A$ small transparent slab of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $L = d/4$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (see figure). What will be the distance from $O$ of the principal maxima and the first minima on either side of the principal maxima obtained in the absence of the glass slab? Given $AC = CD = D$ and $S_1C = S_2C = d$ (where $d << D$).

In a Young's double slit experimental arrangement shown here,if a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of the slit $S_1$,then the path difference $(S_1P - S_2P)$

$6300 \mathring A$ wavelength light shines on two narrow slits separated by a distance of $1.0 \ mm$ and illuminates a screen at a distance of $1.5 \ m$ away. When one slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index $1.8$ and the other slit by a thin glass plate of refractive index $\mu$,the central maxima shifts by $6^o$. Both plates have the same thickness of $0.5 \ mm$. The value of the refractive index $\mu$ of the plate is:
