As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness t=10μmt = 10\mu m and refractive index μ=1.2\mu = 1 . 2 is inserted infront of slit S1{S}_{1}. The experiment is conducted in air (μ=1\mu = 1) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength λ=500nm\lambda = 500nm. Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of xβ0x{\beta}_{0}. β0{\beta}_{0} is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of the xx is ______.

As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness t = 10μ m and refractive index μ =

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Fringe shift due to slab in Young's double slit experiment is given by ∆x=D(μ−1)td∆ x = \dfrac{D ( \mu - 1 ) t}{d}

Since, fringe width β0=Ddλ{\beta}_{0} = \dfrac{D}{d}\lambda

Then, ∆x=β0(μ−1)tλ∆ x = \dfrac{{\beta}_{0}\left(\mu - 1\right)t}{\lambda}

Putting the values, we have

=10×10−6(1.2−1)5×10−7β0= \dfrac{10 \times {10}^{- 6} ( 1 . 2 - 1 )}{5 \times {10}^{- 7}}{\beta}_{0}

=10−5×0.25×10−7β0=4β0= \dfrac{{10}^{- 5} \times 0 . 2}{5 \times {10}^{- 7}}{\beta}_{0} = 4{\beta}_{0}

Hence, the value of x=4x = 4.
