As shown in the figure,in Young's double slit experiment,a thin plate of thickness $t = 10\,\mu m$ and refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.2$ is inserted in front of slit $S_1$. The experiment is conducted in air $(\mu = 1)$ and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda = 500\,nm$. Due to the insertion of the plate,the central maxima is shifted by a distance of $x\beta_0$,where $\beta_0$ is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of $x$ is $.............$
