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

Monochromatic light of wavelength \(500 \mathrm{~nm}\) is used in Young's double slit experiment. An interference pattern is obtained on a screen When one of the slits is covered with a very thin glass plate (refractive index \(=1.5\) ), the central maximum is shifted to a position previously occupied by the \(4^{\text {th }}\) bright fringe. The thickness of the glass-plate is _______\(\mu \mathrm{m}\).

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(2\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((\mu-1) \mathrm{t}=\mathrm{n} \lambda\) \((1.5-1) \mathrm{t}=4 \times 500 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\) \(\mathrm{t}=4000 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~m}\) \(\mathrm{t}=4 \mu \mathrm{m}\)
