Interference fringes were produced in Young's double slit experiment using light of wavelength $5000 \, Å$. When a film of material $2.5 \times 10^{-3} \, cm$ thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by a distance equal to $20$ fringe widths. The refractive index of the material of the film is

  • A
    $1.25$
  • B
    $1.33$
  • C
    $1.4$
  • D
    $1.5$

In a $YDSE$,light of wavelength $\lambda = 5000 \; \mathring{A}$ is used,which emerges in phase from two slits separated by a distance $d = 3 \times 10^{-7} \; m$. $A$ transparent sheet of thickness $t = 1.5 \times 10^{-7} \; m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.17$ is placed over one of the slits. What is the new angular position of the central maxima of the interference pattern,and what is its linear position $y$ from the center of the screen?

If a thin mica sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 5/3$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams as shown in the figure,then the displacement of the fringe system is:

In $YDSE$,the source $S$ placed symmetrically with respect to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is now moved parallel to the plane of the slits so that it is closer to the upper slit $S_1$,as shown. Then,

In Young's double-slit experiment,a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $5 \times 10^{-4} \,cm$ is kept in the path of one of the light rays. Then
