In a double slit experiment,when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits,the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used).

  • A
    $\frac{\lambda}{2(\mu - 1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda}{(2\mu - 1)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$

$A$ 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 $d << D$).
