$A$ transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a Young's double-slit experiment. By what distance (in $cm$) will the interference pattern shift? The distance between the two slits is $d = 0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 100 \, cm$.

In a standard $YDSE$ setup,a small transparent slab of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (as shown in the figure). Given that the slab thickness $t = d/4$,where $d$ is the slit separation,and the distance from the source $A$ to the slits is not explicitly needed for the shift calculation,find the position of the central maxima on the screen relative to $O$. Assume the distance between the slits and the screen is $D$.

$A$ thin glass plate of thickness $t = \frac{2500}{3} \lambda$ (where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used) and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is inserted between one of the slits and the screen in Young's double slit experiment. At a point on the screen equidistant from the slits,the ratio of the intensities before and after the introduction of the glass plate is

In a double-slit experiment,green light $(5303\,\mathring{A})$ falls on a double slit having a separation of $19.44\,\mu m$ and a width of $4.05\,\mu m$. The number of bright fringes between the first and the second diffraction minima is

In an ideal Young's double-slit experiment,a glass plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. If the central bright fringe shifts to the position originally occupied by the first bright fringe (corresponding to wavelength $\lambda$),then the minimum thickness $t$ of the glass plate is:

In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is $0.1 \ cm$ and the screen is placed at $50 \ cm$ from the slits plane. When one slit is covered with a transparent sheet having thickness $t$ and refractive index $n = 1.5$, the central fringe shifts by $0.2 \ cm$. The value of $t$ is . . . . . . $cm$.
