The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( k \) given that the minimum thickness of the glass plate is \( k \lambda \) and it does not change the intensity at the position of the central maximum in Young's Double Slit Experiment (YDSE). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Shift in Central Maximum**: In YDSE, when a glass plate is introduced in one of the beams, it causes a phase shift. The phase shift \( \Delta \phi \) due to the glass plate can be calculated using the formula: \[ \Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \times \Delta x \] where \( \Delta x \) is the optical path difference caused by the glass plate. 2. **Calculating the Optical Path Difference**: The optical path difference introduced by a glass plate of thickness \( t \) and refractive index \( \mu \) is given by: \[ \Delta x = (\mu - 1) t \] Here, \( \mu = 1.5 \) for the glass plate. 3. **Substituting Values**: Substituting the value of \( \mu \): \[ \Delta x = (1.5 - 1) t = 0.5 t \] 4. **Condition for Unchanged Intensity**: For the intensity at the central maximum to remain unchanged, the phase shift must be an integral multiple of \( 2\pi \): \[ \Delta \phi = 2n\pi \quad (n = 0, 1, 2, \ldots) \] Therefore, we can write: \[ \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \times 0.5 t = 2n\pi \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 0.5 t = 2n\lambda \] 5. **Finding Minimum Thickness**: Rearranging for \( t \): \[ t = 4n\lambda \] The minimum thickness occurs when \( n = 1 \): \[ t_{min} = 4 \lambda \] 6. **Relating Thickness to \( k \)**: Given that the minimum thickness of the glass plate is \( k \lambda \): \[ k \lambda = 4 \lambda \] Therefore, we find: \[ k = 4 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( k \) is \( 4 \). ---
