JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Young's Double Slit Experiment and Biprism

  • question_answer
    A double slit experiment is performed with light of wavelength 500 nm. A thin film of thickness 2 mm and refractive index 1.5 is introduced in the path of the upper beam. The location of the central maximum will [AIIMS 2003]

    A)            Remain unshifted

    B)            Shift downward by nearly two fringes

    C)            Shift upward by nearly two fringes

    D)            Shift downward by 10 fringes

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       If shift is equal to n fringes width, then \[n=\frac{(\mu -1)t}{\lambda }=\frac{(1.5-1)\times 2\times {{10}^{-6}}}{500\times {{10}^{-9}}}=\frac{1}{500}\times {{10}^{3}}=2\] Since a thin film is introduced in upper beam. So shift will be upward.
