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?

$A$ double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium $2$ of refractive index $n_2$. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium $1$ of refractive index $n_1(\neq n_2)$. The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is $d$. The slit widths are much smaller than $d$. $A$ monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium $1$. $A$ detector is placed in medium $2$ at a large distance from the slits,and at an angle $\theta$ from the line joining them,so that $\theta$ equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The phase difference between the two rays is independent of $d$.
$(B)$ The two rays interfere constructively at the detector.
$(C)$ The phase difference between the two rays depends on $n_1$ but is independent of $n_2$.
$(D)$ The phase difference between the two rays vanishes only for certain values of $d$ and the angle of incidence of the beam,with $\theta$ being the corresponding angle of refraction.
