Practicing Success
In YDSE, $β$ is the fringe width M and N are the two slits. The central maximum is formed at a point O. After some time, the central maximum is found to be shifted by $t (μ - 1)\frac{β}{λ}$ towards A. Which of the followings is correct ? |
A thin film of thickness t is placed in front of B A thin film of refractive index $μ$ is placed in behind B A thin film of thickness t and refractive index $μ$ is placed in front of A A thin film of thickness t and refractive index $μ$ is placed behind A |
A thin film of thickness t and refractive index $μ$ is placed in front of A |
Path difference due to film = $t (μ - 1)$ Path difference at a point x from the centre of screen = $x\frac{d}{D}$ $∴t (μ - 1)=x\frac{d}{D}$ $⇒x=t (μ - 1)\frac{D}{d}$ $∵β=\frac{λD}{d}$ $∴\frac{D}{d}=\frac{B}{λ}$ $∴x=t(μ - 1)\frac{β}{λ}$ |
