As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness \(t =10\,\mu m\) and refractive index \(\mu _{1}=1.2\) is inserted infront of slit \(S _1\). The experiment is conducted in air \((\mu=1)\) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength \(\lambda=500\,nm\). Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of \(x \beta_0 . \beta_0\) is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate.The value of the \(x\) is \(.............\)

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text { Fringe shift }=\frac{ t (\mu-1)}{\lambda} B\)
\(=\frac{10 \times 10^{-6}(1.2-1)}{5 \times 10^{-7}} B\)
\(=\frac{10^{-5} \times 0.2}{5 \times 10^{-7}}=4\)

- A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point \(A\) on the ground. When it is at a height \(h _{1},\) a girl standing at a distance \(d\) (point \(B\) ) from \(A\) (see figure) sees it at an angle \(45^{\circ}\) with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height \(h _{2},\) it is seen at an angle \(60^{\circ}\) with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance \(2.464\, d\) (point \(C\) ). Then the height \(h _{2}\) is (given tan \(\left.30^{\circ}=0.5774\right)\)\(.......\)
