In Young’s double slit experiment, two slits S1andS2{S}_{1} and {S}_{2} are dd distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is DD (as shown in figure). Now if two transparent slabs of equal thickness 0.1mm0 . 1mm but refractive index 1.51and1.551 . 51 and 1 . 55 are introduced in the path of beam (λ=4000A˚)\left(\lambda = 4000Å\right) from S1andS2{S}_{1} and {S}_{2} respectively. The central bright fringe spot will shift by ________ number of fringes.

In Young’s double slit experiment, two slits S _ 1 and S _ 2 are d distance apart and the separation from slits

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

In Young’s double slit experiment, two slits S _ 1 and S _ 2 are d distance apart and the separation from slits

The change in path difference due to the two slabs at PP is \Deltax=(μ2−μ1)t\Deltax = \left({\mu}_{2} - {\mu}_{1}\right)t

=(1.55−1.51)×0.1= ( 1 . 55 - 1 . 51 ) \times 0 . 1=0.04×10−4= 0 . 04 \times {10}^{- 4}

⇒\Deltax=4×10−6=4μm⇒ \Deltax = 4 \times {10}^{- 6} = 4\mu m

Now, the distance of central maxima from geometrical center is y=\DeltaxDd=4×10−6Ddy = \dfrac{\DeltaxD}{d} = 4 \times {10}^{- 6}\dfrac{D}{d}

Now, fringe width, nβ=4×10−6Ddn\beta = 4 \times {10}^{- 6}\dfrac{D}{d}

Or, n\lambdaDd=4×10−6Dd\dfrac{n\lambdaD}{d} = 4 \times {10}^{- 6}\dfrac{D}{d}

Number of shift, n=4×10−64×10−7=10n = \dfrac{4 \times {10}^{- 6}}{4 \times {10}^{- 7}} = 10.
