In Young's double-slit experiment,a monochromatic light source is used to illuminate slits $S_1$ and $S_2$. An interference pattern is obtained on the screen with a fringe width of $w$. If a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the new fringe width $w'$ becomes:

  • A
    $w' = \frac{w}{\mu}$
  • B
    $w' = w\mu$
  • C
    $w' = (\mu - 1)tw$
  • D
    $w' = w$
