A plastic sheet (refractive index \(=1.6\) ) covers one slit of a double slit arrangement for the Young's experiment. When the double slit is illuminated by monochromatic light (wavelength \(=5867 Å\) ), the centre of the screen appears dark rather than bright. The minimum thickness of the plastic sheet to be used for this to happen is
- A \(3300 Å\)
- B \(6600 Å\)
- C \(2062 Å\)
- D \(5500 Å\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(5500 Å\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, wavelength of monochromatic light, \(\lambda=5867 \hat{A}\) Refractive index, \(\mu=1.6\) Let \(t\) be the thickness of the plastic. Since, the centre of the screen appears dark when plastic sheet is introduced, hence path difference,…
