Q74 / 90 · JEE Main 2012 (07 May Online) · Physics
In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength $\lambda$, fringe pattern on the screen has fringe width $\beta$. When two thin transparent glass (refractive index $\mu$ ) plates of thickness $t_1$ and $t_2$ $\left(t_1>t_2\right)$ are placed in the path of the two beams respectively, the fringe pattern will shift by a distance
- A$\frac{\beta(\mu-1}{\lambda}\left(\frac{t_1}{t_2}\right)$
- B$\frac{\mu \beta}{\lambda} \frac{t_1}{t_2}$
- Correct answerC$\frac{\beta(\mu-1}{\lambda}\left(t_1-t_2\right.$
- D$\left(\mu-1 \frac{\lambda}{\beta}\right)\left(t_1+t_2 \quad\right)$
Solution
$$
\text { } \begin{aligned}
\text { Shift } & =\frac{\beta(\mu-1)}{\lambda} t_1-\frac{\beta(\mu-1)}{\lambda} t_2 \\
& =\frac{\beta(\mu-1)}{\lambda}\left(t_1-t_2\right)
\end{aligned}
$$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
