In an ideal Young's double-slit experiment,a glass plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. If the central bright fringe shifts to the position originally occupied by the first bright fringe (corresponding to wavelength $\lambda$),then the minimum thickness $t$ of the glass plate is:

  • A
    $2\lambda$
  • B
    $\frac{2\lambda}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda}{3}$
  • D
    $\lambda$

Monochromatic light of wavelength $500 \, nm$ is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen. When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index $= 1.5$), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the $4^{th}$ bright fringe. The thickness of the glass plate is ..................... $\mu m$.

Young's double slit experiment is carried out with two thin sheets of thickness $t = 10.4 \, \mu m$ each and refractive indices $\mu_1 = 1.52$ and $\mu_2 = 1.40$ covering the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$,respectively. If white light of range $400 \, nm$ to $780 \, nm$ is used,then which wavelength will form maxima exactly at point $O$,the centre of the screen?

In a Young's double slit experimental arrangement shown here,if a mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of the slit $S_1$,then the path difference $(S_1P - S_2P)$

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