A thin plastic of refractive index 1.6 is used to cover one of the slits of a double slit arrangement. The central point omn the screen is now occupied by what would have been the 7th bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is 600 nm, what is the thickness ( in `mu`m ) of the plastic?

One slit of a double slits experiment is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.4 and the other by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.7 .The point on the screen ,where central bright fringe was formed before the introduction of the glass sheets,is now occupied by the 15th bright fringe.Assuming that both the glass plates have same thickness and wavelength of light used in 4800Å ,find the their thickness.

When the plastic thin film of refractive index 1.45 is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves then the central fringe is displaced through width of five fringes.The thickness of the film will be ,if the wavelength of light is 5890Å

In a double-slit experiment, fringes are produced using light of wavelength 4800A^(@) . One slit is covered by a thin plate of glass of refractive index 1.4 and the other slit by another plate of glass of double thickness and of refractive index 1.7. On doing so, the central bright fringe shifts to a position originally occupied by the fifth bright fringe from the centre. find the thickness of the glass plates.

In Young's double slit experiment a mica plate of refractive index mu is introduced in the path of light coming from one of the slit .
