In a double slit experiment, when a thin film of thickness t having refractive index μ is introuduced in front of one of the slits, the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of t is ( λ is the wavelength of the light used):
Options
- Aλ 2 ( μ - 1 )
- Bλ ( 2 μ - 1 )
- C2 λ ( μ - 1 )
- Dλ ( μ - 1 )
Correct answer
D. λ ( μ - 1 )
Step-by-step solution
Shift = μ - 1 t D d Fringe width ( β ) = λ D d ( μ - 1 ) t D d = λ D d t = λ μ - 1
