To make the central fringe at the centre , a mica sheet of refractive index is introduced. Choose the correct statement.


The path difference between two interfering waves at a point on the screen is . The ratio of the intensity at this point and that at the central bright fringe will be (Assume that intensity due to each slit is same)

A Young's double slit experiment is conducted in water as shown in the figure, and a glass plate of thickness and refractive index is placed in the path of . The magnitude of the phase difference at is (Assume that is the wavelength of light in air, is symmetrical w.r.t.( and .)


In the figure shown in a Young's double slit experiment, a parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from a medium of refractive index . The wavelength of light in this medium is . A transparent slab of thickness and refractive index is put in front of one slit. The medium between the screen and the plane of the slits is . The phase difference between the light waves reaching point (symmetrical relative to the slits) is,
