Coherent sources and their importance in interference
Question

A flake of glass (refractive index 1.5) is placed over one of the openings of a double slit apparatus. The interference pattern displaces itself through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. if wavelength of the diffracted light is λ=600 nm, then the thickness of the flake is

Moderate
Solution

 Shift =βλ(μ1)t 7β=βλ(μ1)tt=7λ(μ1)=7×600(1.51)=8400 nm
