When a glass plate of refractive index $1.44$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams, the fringes are displaced by a distance '$y$'. If this plate is replaced by another plate of same thickness but of refractive index $1.66$, the fringes will be displaced by a distance

  • A
    $\frac{2y}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4y}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{5y}{4}$
  • D
    $\frac{3y}{2}$

$A$ thin mica sheet of thickness $2 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is introduced in the path of the first wave. The wavelength of the wave used is $5000 \ \mathring{A}$. The central bright maximum will shift:

While conducting the Young's double slit experiment,a student replaced the two slits with a large opaque plate in the $x-y$ plane containing two small holes that act as two coherent point sources $(S_1, S_2)$ emitting light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The student mistakenly placed the screen parallel to the $x-z$ plane (for $z>0$) at a distance $D=3 \ m$ from the mid-point of $S_1 S_2$,as shown schematically in the figure. The distance between the sources $d=0.6003 \ mm$. The origin $O$ is at the intersection of the screen and the line joining $S_1 S_2$. Which of the following is(are) true of the intensity pattern on the screen?
$(A)$ Straight bright and dark bands parallel to the $x$-axis
$(B)$ The region very close to the point $O$ will be dark
$(C)$ Hyperbolic bright and dark bands with foci symmetrically placed about $O$ in the $x$-direction
$(D)$ Semi circular bright and dark bands centered at point $O$

$A$ small transparent slab of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $L = d/4$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (see figure). What will be the distance from $O$ of the principal maxima and the first minima on either side of the principal maxima obtained in the absence of the glass slab? Given $AC = CD = D$ and $S_1C = S_2C = d$ (where $d << D$).
