$A$ transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a Young's double-slit experiment. By what distance (in $cm$) will the interference pattern shift? The distance between the two slits is $d = 0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 100 \, cm$.

In a $YDSE$,light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is used,which emerges in phase from two slits separated by a distance $d = 3 \times 10^{-7} \; m$. $A$ transparent sheet of thickness $t = 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \; m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.17$ is placed over one of the slits. What is the new angular position of the central maxima of the interference pattern,and what is its linear position $y$ from the center of the screen?

$A$ flake of glass (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) is placed over one of the openings of a double slit apparatus. The interference pattern displaces itself through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. If the wavelength of the light used is $\lambda = 600 \, nm$,then the thickness of the flake is ........ $nm$.

In Young's double-slit experiment,if one slit is made twice as wide as the other instead of having equal widths,then in the interference pattern:
