A monochromatic beam of light fall on YDSE apparatus at some angle (say theta ) as shown in figure. A thin sheet of glass is inserted in front of the lower slit s_(2) . The central bright fringe (path difference = 0 ) will be obtained

Assertion In the YDSE set up shown in figure a glass slab is inserted in front of the slit S_(1) as shown in figure Then zero order maxima (where path difference =0) will lie above point O. Reason Glass slab will produce an extra path difference in the path of the ray passing through S_(1)

In Young’s experiment, monochromatic light through a single slit S is used to illuminate the two slits S_1 and S_2 . Interference fringes are obtained on a screen. The fringe width is found to be w. Now a thin sheet of mica (thickness t and refractive index mu ) is placed near and in front of one of the two slits. Now the fringe width is found to be w’, then :
