  • A
    $\frac{\beta}{n + 1}$
  • B
    $n \beta$
  • C
    $\frac{\beta}{n}$
  • D

In Young's double-slit experiment,a thin mica sheet of thickness $12 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. It is observed that the central bright fringe shifts by a distance equal to the fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m$,find the refractive index of the mica sheet.

If the slit widths of $YDSE$ are in the ratio $1:4$,then the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity on the screen is: (in $:1$)
