Important Questions on Wave Optics

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,



Two coherent light sources, and , each of wavelength , are separated by a distance as shown. The maximum number of minima formed on line which runs from to is,
