JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

In a double slit experiment, when one of the slits is covered by a transparent mica sheet of refractive index \(1.56\), the central fringe shifts to the position of \(7^{th}\) bright fringe, obtained with both slits uncovered. If the light source wavelength is \(450\) nm, the thickness of mica sheet is \(\alpha \times 10^{-9}\) m. The value of \(\alpha\) is ______.

  1. A 5600
  2. B 5625
  3. C 5650
  4. D 5700

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5625

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The shift in the central fringe due to the introduction of a transparent sheet of thickness \(t\) and refractive index \(\mu\) is given by \(\Delta y = \dfrac{D}{d}(\mu - 1)t\). The position of the \(n^{th}\) bright fringe is \(y_n = n \dfrac{D\lambda}{d}\). Equating the two, we…
