YDSE: Film, Medium & Two Wavelengths

A ray of light from a monochromatic point source of light is incident at a point on the screen. If a thin mica film of thickness ' tt ' and refractive index ' nn ' is introduced in its path, then the optical path

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. In the film, path tt counts as optical path ntnt instead of tt.
  2. Increase in optical path =nt−t=(n−1)t= nt - t = (n-1)t
  3. So the answer is (d) is increased by (n−1)t(n-1)t.
