In Young's double-slit experiment,a mica sheet of refractive index $\mu$ and thickness $t$ is introduced in the path of the light ray from the first source $S_1$. By what distance will the fringe pattern be shifted?

  • A
    $\frac{d}{D}(\mu - 1)t$
  • B
    $\frac{D}{d}(\mu - 1)t$
  • C
    $\frac{d}{(\mu - 1)D}$
  • D
    $\frac{D}{d}(\mu - 1)$
