YDSE: Film, Medium & Two Wavelengths

As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness t=10 μmt = 10\ \mu\text{m} and refractive index μ=1.2\mu = 1.2 is inserted in front of slit S1S_1. The experiment is conducted in air (μ=1)(\mu = 1) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength λ=500 nm\lambda = 500\text{ nm}. Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of xβ0. β0x\beta_0.\ \beta_0 is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of the xx is _____________.

Answer: 4

  1. Number of fringes shifted x=(μ−1)tλx = \dfrac{(\mu - 1)t}{\lambda}.
  2. x=0.2×10×10−6500×10−9=4x = \dfrac{0.2 \times 10\times10^{-6}}{500\times10^{-9}} = 4
  3. So x=4x = 4.
