In Young's experiment the upper slit is covered by a thin glass plate of refractive index 1.4 while the lower slit is covered by another glass plate, having the same thickness as the first one but having refractive index 1.7 interference pattern is observed using light of wavelength 5400 Å It is found that point P on the screen where the central maximum (n = 0) fell before the glass plates were inserted now has 3//4 the original intensity. It is further observed that what used to be the fourth maximum earlier, lies below point P while the fifth minimum lies above P. Calculate the thickness of glass plate. (Absorption of light by glass plate may be neglected. .

In YDSE, the sources is red ligth of wavelength 7 xx 10^(-7) m .
