The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness t and refractive index μ is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gets shifted by a distance equal to n fringe width. If the wavelength of light used is λ then t will be:
Options
- AD λ a ( μ - 1 )
- Bn λ ( μ - 1 )
- C2 n λ ( μ - 1 )
- D2 D λ a ( μ - 1 )
Correct answer
B. n λ ( μ - 1 )
Step-by-step solution
Shift in central maxima = D a μ - 1 t Fringe width = D λ a It's given, D a μ - 1 t = n D λ a t = n λ μ - 1
