The slits in a double-slit interference experiment are illuminated by orange light $(\lambda = 600 \ nm)$. $A$ thin transparent plastic sheet of thickness $t$ is placed in front of one of the slits. The number of fringes $(N)$ shifting on the screen is plotted versus the refractive index $\mu$ of the plastic in the graph shown. The value of $t$ is

  • A
    $4.8 \ mm$
  • B
    $48 \ \mu m$
  • C
    $2.4 \ \mu m$
  • D
    $24 \ \mu m$

In a Young's double-slit experiment,a transparent plate of thickness $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ and refractive index $1.5$ is placed in the path of one of the beams. What will be the shift in the fringe pattern (in $, cm$)? The distance between the two slits $S_1$ and $S_2$ is $0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the slits and the screen is $100 \, cm$.

In a double slit arrangement,fringes are produced using light of wavelength $4800 \ \mathring A$. One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index $1.4$ and the other with another glass plate of the same thickness but of refractive index $1.7$. By doing so,the central bright fringe shifts to the original fifth bright fringe from the center. The thickness of the glass plate is ...... $\mu m$.

$A$ monochromatic light source $S$ of wavelength $440 \,nm$ is placed slightly above a plane mirror $M$ as shown below. The image of $S$ in $M$ can be used as a virtual source to produce interference fringes on the screen. The distance of source $S$ from $O$ is $20.0 \,cm$ and the distance of the screen from $O$ is $100.0 \,cm$ (figure is not to scale). If the angle $\theta = 0.50 \times 10^{-3} \,radians$, then the width of the interference fringes observed on the screen is ............... $mm$.

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 $n = 4/3$).
