Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


When `mu=1` i.e., no change in path difference due to optical path difference so that mid point of the screen is again the central bright fringe.
But when `mugt1` the central bright will shift according `(D)/(d)(mu-1)t`
As `mu` increases, CBF will shift upwards from midpoint i.e., at mid point. Less bright fringe appears and when the shifts is equal to value of fringe width, the dark (zero intensity) will appear.
or Intensity variation
`O-=`central bright fringe
`y-=`distance from 'O' screen

* When `mu` increases, the fringe patterns shift towards the slit when introduced shift `(D(mu-1))/(t)` from the above two fact variation in I with `mu` is

In YDSE when slab of thickness t and refractive index mu is placed in front of one slit then central maxima shifts by one fringe width. Find out t in terms of lambda and mu .

In a regular YDSE, when thin film of refractive index mu is placed in front of the upper slit then it is observed that the intensity at the central point becomes half of the original intensity. It is also observed that the initial 3^(rd) maxima is now below the central point and the initial 4^(th) minima is above the central point. Now, a film of refractive index mu_(1) and thickness same as the above film. is put in the front of the lower slit also. It is observed that whole fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. What is the value of mu_(1) ?

Monochromatic light of lamba=5000Å is incident on two slits separately by a distance of 5xx10^(-4)m . The interference patteren is seen on a screen placed at a distance of 1m form the slits. A thing glass plate of thicknes 1.5xx10^(-6)m and refractive index mu=1.5 is placed between one of the slits and the screen. Find the intensity at the centre of the screen if the density there is I_(0) in the absence of the plate. Also find the lateral shift of the central maximum. '

In YDSE, both slits produce equal intensities on the screen. A 100% transparent thin film is placed in front of one of the slits. Now, the intensity on the centre becomes 75% of the previous intensity. The wavelength of light is 6000Å and refractive index of glass is 1.5. Thus, minimum thickness of the glass slab is

Find the intensity at the centre of the screen if the intensity is I_(0) in the absence of the plate. Also find the lateral shift of the central maxima and number of fringes crossed through centre.
