When a thin transparent plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in the path of one of the two interfering waves of light,then the path difference changes by

  • A
    $(\mu + 1)t$
  • B
    $(\mu - 1)t$
  • C
    $\frac{(\mu + 1)}{t}$
  • D
    $\frac{(\mu - 1)}{t}$

$A$ parallel beam of light of wavelength $500 \ nm$ is incident at an angle $30^o$ with the normal to the slit plane in a Young's double-slit experiment. The intensity due to each slit is $I_o$. Point $O$ is equidistant from $S_1$ and $S_2$. The distance between the slits is $1 \ mm$.

Young's double slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. $A$ thin film is introduced in front of one of the slits.

To make the central fringe appear at the centre $O$ of the screen,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in front of one of the slits. Choose the correct statement.

Two coherent point sources $S_1$ and $S_2$ vibrating in phase emit light of wavelength $\lambda$. The separation between them is $2 \lambda$ as shown in the figure. The first bright fringe is formed at $P$ due to interference on a screen placed at a distance $D$ from $S_1$ $(D >> \lambda)$. Find the distance $OP$.

Each plate reflects $25\%$ of the incident light intensity. When $AB$ and $A'B'$ are taken as the two slits in Young's double-slit experiment,what is the ratio of maximum to minimum intensity ${I_{\max }}/{I_{\min }}$ (in $: 1$)?
