In a Young's double-slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the slits. By how many fringe widths does the central bright fringe shift? The wavelength of the light used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$.

  • A
    $2$ fringes upward.
  • B
    $2$ fringes downward.
  • C
    $10$ fringes upward.
  • D
    None of these.

In Young's double slit experiment, the aperture screen distance is $2 \, m$. The fringe width is $1 \, mm$. Light of $600 \, nm$ is used. If a thin plate of glass $(\mu = 1.5)$ of thickness $0.06 \, mm$ is placed over one of the slits, then there will be a lateral displacement of the fringes by $... \, cm$.

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.

When a thin plastic film of refractive index $\mu = 1.45$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringes. If the wavelength of light used is $5890 \, \mathring{A}$,find the thickness of the film.

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is $0.1 \ cm$ and the screen is placed at $50 \ cm$ from the slits plane. When one slit is covered with a transparent sheet having thickness $t$ and refractive index $n = 1.5$, the central fringe shifts by $0.2 \ cm$. The value of $t$ is . . . . . . $cm$.

$A$ double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $500\, nm$. $A$ thin film of thickness $2\, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will
