$A$ small transparent slab of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $L = d/4$ is placed along the path $AS_2$ (see figure). What will be the distance from $O$ of the principal maxima and the first minima on either side of the principal maxima obtained in the absence of the glass slab? Given $AC = CD = D$ and $S_1C = S_2C = d$ (where $d << D$).

In $YDSE$,the source $S$ placed symmetrically with respect to the slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is now moved parallel to the plane of the slits so that it is closer to the upper slit $S_1$,as shown. Then,

In a Young's double-slit experiment,the fringe width is found to be $0.4 \, mm$ when performed in air. If the entire apparatus is immersed in water,the new fringe width will be ........ (Refractive index of water $n = 4/3$).

$A$ thin plastic sheet of refractive index $1.6$ is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the $7^{th}$ bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is $600 \ nm$, what is the thickness (in $\mu m$) of the plastic sheet?
