In the figure shown 'S' is a monochromatic source of light emitting light of wavelength λ (in air). Light falls on slit 'S1' from 'S' and then reach the slits 'S2' and 'S3' 'through a medium of refractive index 'μ1'. Light from slits S2 and S3 reach the screen through medium of refractive index μ3. A thin transparent film of refractive index μ2 and thickness 't' is placed in front of 'S2'. Point 'P' is symmetrical w.r.t.  S2 ' and 'S3' (Using the value d=1 mm,D=1 m,μ1=4/3,μ2=3/2,μ3=9/5 and t=49×10-5 m )
