JEE PYQ: Wave Optics Question 29

Question 29 - 2019 (12 Apr Shift 1)

In a double slit experiment, when a thin film of thickness $t$ having refractive index $\mu$ is introduced in front of one of the slits, the maximum at the centre of the fringe pattern shifts by one fringe width. The value of $t$ is ($\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light used) :

(1) $\frac{2\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$

(2) $\frac{\lambda}{2(\mu - 1)}$

(3) $\frac{\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$

(4) $\frac{\lambda}{(2\mu - 1)}$

Show Answer

Answer: (3)

Solution

Given, $\Delta = \beta$

$\frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d} = \frac{D\lambda}{d}$

$\therefore t = \frac{\lambda}{(\mu - 1)}$
