In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. $A$ thin film of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of $A$. Let $\beta =$ fringe width. The central maximum will shift:

  • A
    towards $A$
  • B
    towards $B$
  • C
    by $t(\mu - 1) \frac{\beta}{\lambda}$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
