When one of the slits of Young's experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness $4.8 \, mm$,the central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the $30^{th}$ bright fringe. What should be the thickness of the sheet if the central fringe has to shift to the position occupied by the $20^{th}$ bright fringe?

  • A
    $3.8$
  • B
    $1.6$
  • C
    $7.6$
  • D
    $3.2$

$A$ 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
