In Young's double-slit experiment,monochromatic light is used to illuminate two slits $A$ and $B$. Interference fringes are obtained on a screen in front of the slits. Now,if a thick glass plate is placed in the path of light from one of the slits,then:

  • A
    The fringes will disappear.
  • B
    The fringe width will decrease.
  • C
    The fringe width will increase.
  • D
    The fringe width will remain unchanged.
