On placing a thin film of mica of thickness $12 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$ in the path of one of the interfering waves in Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light,the fringe pattern shifts through a distance equal to the width of a bright fringe. If the wavelength used is $\lambda = 6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ cm}$,the refractive index of mica is:

  • A
    $1.4$
  • B
    $1.1$
  • C
    $1.3$
  • D
    $1.5$

In $YDSE$, a thin film $(\mu=1.6)$ of thickness $0.01 \,mm$ is introduced in the path of one of the two interfering beams. The central fringe moves to a position occupied by the $10^{\text{th}}$ bright fringe earlier. The wavelength of the wave is ......... $\mathring{A}$.

The central fringe of the interference pattern produced by light of wavelength $6000 \mathring A$ is found to shift to the position of the $4^{\text {th}}$ bright fringe after a glass plate of refractive index $1.5$ is introduced in front of one slit in Young's experiment. The thickness of the glass plate will be ......... $\mu m$.

$A$ 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 a double-slit experiment,the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light source is $400 \ nm$,the slit separation $d$ is $20 \ \mu m$,and the individual slit width $a$ is $4 \ \mu m$. Considering the interference of light from the two slits and the diffraction of light through each slit,find the number of bright interference fringes that lie within the central peak of the diffraction envelope.
