JEE MainPhysicsWave OpticsNumerical+4 / −1
In Young's double slit experiment, two slits S1S_{1}S1​ and S2S_{2}S2​ are 'ddd' distance apart and the separation from slits to screen is D\mathrm{D}D(as shown in figure). Now if two transparent slabs of equal thickness 0.1 mm0.1 \mathrm{~mm}0.1 mm but refractive index 1.511.511.51 and 1.551.551.55 are introduced in the path of beam (λ=4000Ao(\lambda=4000\mathop A\limits^o(λ=4000Ao​) from S1\mathrm{S}_{1}S1​ and S2\mathrm{S}_{2}S2​ respectively.

Correct answer: 10

  1. Principle used

    In YDSE, if a thin transparent slab of thickness ttt and refractive index μ\muμ is introduced in one path, the optical path increases by Δ=(μ−1)t\Delta = (\mu-1)tΔ=(μ−1)t

    Here, slabs are introduced in both paths, so the net additional optical path difference is the difference of their optical path increases: Δnet=(μ2−1)t−(μ1−1)t=(μ2−μ1)t\Delta_{\text{net}} = (\mu_2-1)t-(\mu_1-1)t = (\mu_2-\mu_1)tΔnet​=(μ2​−1)t−(μ1​−1)t=(μ2​−μ1​)t

  2. Given data

    t=0.1 mmt=0.1\text{ mm}t=0.1 mm μ1=1.51,μ2=1.55\mu_1=1.51,\quad \mu_2=1.55μ1​=1.51,μ2​=1.55 λ=4000 A˚=4000×10−10 m=4×10−7 m\lambda = 4000\,\text{\AA} = 4000\times 10^{-10}\text{ m} = 4\times 10^{-7}\text{ m}λ=4000A˚=4000×10−10 m=4×10−7 m

  3. Calculate net path difference

    Δnet=(1.55−1.51)(0.1 mm)\Delta_{\text{net}} = (1.55-1.51)(0.1\text{ mm})Δnet​=(1.55−1.51)(0.1 mm) =0.04×0.1 mm=0.04\times 0.1\text{ mm}=0.04×0.1 mm =0.004 mm=0.004\text{ mm}=0.004 mm

    Converting to meters: 0.004 mm=4×10−6 m0.004\text{ mm} = 4\times 10^{-6}\text{ m}0.004 mm=4×10−6 m

  4. Shift in number of fringes

    Number of fringes shifted is n=Δnetλn=\frac{\Delta_{\text{net}}}{\lambda}n=λΔnet​​

    n=4×10−64×10−7=10n=\frac{4\times 10^{-6}}{4\times 10^{-7}}=10n=4×10−74×10−6​=10

  5. Conclusion

    The central bright fringe shifts by 10\boxed{10}10​ fringes.
