One of the slits in Young's double slit experiment is covered with a transparent sheet of thickness 2.9 10⁻³ ~cm . The central fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the 25^ th bright fringe. If =5800 Å , the refractive index of the sheet is
Options
- A1.65
- B1.60
- C1.55
- D1.50
Correct answer
D. 1.50
Step-by-step solution
As it is given that a transparent sheet of certain thickness is inserted, we use aligned & ( -1) t = N & 25 =( -1) t & -1= 25 t aligned The refractive index of the sheet is: aligned & = 25 5800 10⁻¹⁰ 2.9 10⁻⁵ +1 & =1.50 aligned
