In a Fresnel's biprism experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $1.5$ and thickness $6 \times 10^{-6} \ m$ is placed in the path of one of the interfering beams. As a result,the central fringe shifts by a distance equal to $5$ fringe widths. The wavelength of light used is .... $\mathring{A}$

  • A
    $4000$
  • B
    $6000$
  • C
