In Young's double slit experiment light of wavelength \(500 \mathrm{~nm}\) is used to form interference pattern. A uniform glass plate of refractive index 1.5 and thickness \(0.1 \mathrm{~mm}\) is introduced in the path of one of the interfering beams. The number of fringes that will shift due to this is

  1. A 400
  2. B 100
  3. C 300
  4. D 200
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 100

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The shift in the interference pattern in Young's double slit experiment when a glass plate of thickness \(t\) and refractive index \(\mu\) is introduced in the path of one of the beams is given by the formula: \(\Delta x = \dfrac{(\mu - 1)tD}{d}\) The number of fringes shifted…
