JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 12)

The figure shows a Young's double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness t and refractive index μ is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gest shifted by a distance equal to n fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is $$\lambda $$, t will be : JEE Main 2019 (Online) 9th April Morning Slot Physics - Wave Optics Question 106 English
$${{D\lambda } \over {a\left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}$$
$${{2nD\lambda } \over {a\left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}$$
$${{2D\lambda } \over {a\left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}$$
$${{n\lambda } \over {\left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}$$

Explanation

Path difference at central maxima $$\Delta $$x = ($$\mu $$ – 1)t, whole pattern will shift by same amount which will be given by

$$\left( {\mu - 1} \right)t{D \over d} = n{{\lambda D} \over d};$$ according to the question $$t = {{n\lambda } \over {\left( {\mu - 1} \right)}}$$
