In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength $\lambda ,$ the fringe pattern on the screen has a fringe width $\beta .$ When two thin transparent glass (refractive index $\mu$) plates of thickness $t_1$ and $t_2$ $(t_1 > t_2)$ are placed in the path of the two beams respectively,the fringe pattern will shift by a distance:

  • A
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda }\left( \frac{t_1}{t_2} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu \beta }{\lambda }\frac{t_1}{t_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\beta (\mu - 1)}{\lambda }(t_1 - t_2)$
  • D
    $\frac{(\mu - 1)\lambda }{\beta }(t_1 + t_2)$

Consider the figure (not drawn to scale) in which a converging lens of radius $R = 1 \ cm$ and focal length $f = 20 \ cm$ is cut in the middle. The upper part is lifted up by $d = 1 \ mm$ and the lower part is pulled down by the same distance. The gap between them is blocked by an opaque sheet. $A$ point light source with wavelength $\lambda = 500 \ nm$ is placed on the optical axis at a distance of $2f$ from the split lens. $A$ large screen is placed at $L = 1 \ m$ from the right focus of the lens. Find the approximate number of interference fringes on the screen.

In Young's double slit experiment,a glass plate is placed before one slit which absorbs half the intensity of light. Under this case:
