A parallel beam of monochromatic light of wacelength lambda used in a Young's double slit experiment. The siits are separated by a distance d and the screen is placed parallel to the plane of the slits. The incident beam makes an angle theta=sin^(-1)((lambda)/(2d)) with the normal to the slits. A transparent sheet of refractive index 'mu' and thickness t=(lambda)/(2(mu-1)) is introduced infront of one of the slit. find the intensity at the geometrical centre.

A screen is at distance D = 80 cm form a diaphragm having two narrow slits S_(1) and S_(2) which are d = 2 mm apart. Slit S_(1) is covered by a transparent sheet of thickness t_(1) = 2.5 mu m slit S_(2) is covered by another sheet of thikness t_(2) = 1.25 mu m as shown if Fig. 2.52. Both sheets are made of same material having refractive index mu = 1.40 Water is filled in the space between diaphragm and screen.
