To find the thickness of the plastic thin film that causes the displacement of the central fringe through a width of five fringes, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between fringe displacement and thickness When a thin film is placed in the path of one of the interfering waves, the displacement of the central fringe (x₀) can be expressed as: \[ x₀ = (n - 1) \cdot \frac{t \cdot \lambda}{2d} \] where: - \( n \) is the refractive index of the film, - \( t \) is the thickness of the film, ...

In a YDSE experiment, the distance between the slits & the screen is 100 cm . For a certain distance between the slits, an interference pattern is observed on the screen with the fringe width 0.25 mm . When the distance between the slits is increased by Deltad=1.2 mm, the fringe width decreased to n=2//3 of the original value. In the final position, a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.5 is kept in front of one of the slits & the shift of central maximum is observed to be 20 fringe width. Find the thickness of the plate & wavelength of the incident light.
