$A$ plate of thickness $t$ made of a material of refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a double slit experiment. What should be the minimum thickness $t$ for which the intensity at the centre of the fringe pattern is zero?

  • A
    $\frac{(\mu - 1)\lambda}{2}$
  • B
    $(\mu - 1)\lambda$
  • C
