When a thin plastic film of refractive index $\mu = 1.45$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringes. If the wavelength of light used is $5890 \, \mathring{A}$,find the thickness of the film.

    $5.35 \times 10^{-6} \, m$
  • D
    $6.55 \times 10^{-6} \, m$

In Young's double slit experiment, two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ are $d$ distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is $D$ (as shown in figure). Now, if two transparent slabs of equal thickness $0.1 \, mm$ but refractive indices $1.51$ and $1.55$ are introduced in the path of the beam $(\lambda = 4000 \, \mathring{A})$ from $S_1$ and $S_2$ respectively, the central bright fringe spot will shift by $..........$ number of fringes.

In a Young's double-slit experiment,let $A$ and $B$ be the two slits. Thin films of thicknesses $t_A$ and $t_B$ and refractive indices $\mu_A$ and $\mu_B$ are placed in front of slits $A$ and $B$ respectively. If $\mu_A t_A = \mu_B t_B$,the central maximum will:

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 . . . . . . .
