In Young's double slit experiment when a glass plate of refractive index 1.44 is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams, the fringes are displaced by a distance ' y '. If this plate is replaced by another plate of same thickness but of refractive index 1.66, the fringes will be displaced by a distance
Options
- A3 y 2
- B2 y 3
- C5 y 4
- D4 y 5
Correct answer
A. 3 y 2
Step-by-step solution
As a glass plate is used in one of the paths, aligned & y ₁= (1.44-1) t & y ₁=0.44 t aligned New displacement is: aligned y ₂ & = (1.66-1) t y ₂ & =0.66 t y ₂ y ₁ & = 0.66 0.44 y ₂ & = 3 y 2 aligned
