When a thin transparent plate of thickness $t$ and refractive index $\mu$ is placed in the path of one of the two interfering waves of light,then the path difference changes by

  • A
    $(\mu + 1)t$
  • B
    $(\mu - 1)t$
  • C
    $\frac{(\mu + 1)}{t}$
  • D
    $\frac{(\mu - 1)}{t}$

$A$ flake of glass (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) is placed over one of the openings of a double slit apparatus. The interference pattern displaces itself through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. If the wavelength of the light used is $\lambda = 600 \, nm$,then the thickness of the flake is ........ $nm$.

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,

$A$ transparent medium of refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ and thickness $t = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$ is placed in front of one of the slits in a Young's double-slit experiment. By what distance (in $cm$) will the interference pattern shift? The distance between the two slits is $d = 0.5 \, mm$ and the distance between the screen and the slits is $D = 100 \, cm$.
