In Young's double-slit experiment performed using a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,when a glass plate $(\mu=1.5)$ of thickness $t = x \lambda$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams,the intensity at the position where the central maximum occurred previously remains unchanged. The value of $x$ will be..........

In a double slit experiment, when one of the slits is covered by a transparent mica sheet of refractive index $1.56$, the central fringe shifts to the position of $7^{th}$ bright fringe, obtained with both slits uncovered. If the light source wavelength is $450 \text{ nm}$, the thickness of mica sheet is $\alpha \times 10^{-9} \text{ m}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

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 ......... $\mu m$.
