A thin plastic sheet of refractive index 1.6 is used to cover one of the slits of a double-slit arrangement. The central point on the screen is now occupied by what would have been the 7 bright fringe before the plastic was used. If the wavelength of light is 600 nm, what is the thickness (in μm) of the plastic?

Fringes are produced with monochromatic light of wavelength 5.45×10-5 cm. A thin glass plate of R.I. 1.5 is then normally placed in one of the paths of interfering waves and the central bright band of the fringe system is found to move into the position, previously occupied by the third bright band from the system. The thickness of the glass plate will be

Biprism experiment is conducted with a wavelength of 5000 A0. The distance between the virtual sources is 0.2 mm and the micrometer eyepiece is at a distance of 100 cm from the slits. The distance between the consecutive bright and dark band is

The distance of a point on the screen from two slits in biprism experiment is 1.8×10-5 m and 1.23×10-5 m. If wavelength of light used is 6000 A0, the fringe formed at that point is
