$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?

  • A
    $7$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $8$
  • D

Two coherent narrow slits emitting light of wavelength $\lambda$ in the same phase are placed parallel to each other at a small separation of $3 \lambda$. The light is collected on a screen $S$ which is placed at a distance $D (>> \lambda)$ from the slits. Find the smallest distance $x$ from the center $O$ such that the point $P$ is a maxima.

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in front of one of the slits,the central maximum shifts by a distance equal to $n$ fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is $\lambda$,then $t$ will be:

$A$ double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength $500\, nm$. $A$ thin film of thickness $2\, \mu m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a transparent plate of thickness $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the beams. What will be the shift in the fringe pattern (in $, cm$)? The distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $100 \, cm$.

Young's double slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. $A$ thin film is introduced in front of one of the slits.
