In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$. If two transparent slabs of equal thickness $t = 0.1 \text{ mm}$ but refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.51$ and $\mu_2 = 1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \text{ Å})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe will shift by how many fringes?

  • A
    $5$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D
    $20$

State two conditions for obtaining sustained interference of light. In Young's double-slit experiment,using light of wavelength $400 \, nm$,interference fringes of width $'X'$ are obtained. If the wavelength of light is increased to $600 \, nm$ and the separation between the slits is halved,find the ratio of the distances between the screen and the slits in the two arrangements if the fringe width remains the same.
