Question

The index of refraction of a glass plate is $$1.48$$ at θ$$1=300C$$ and varies linearly with temperature with a coefficient of $$2.5$$×$$10$$−$$5$$ $$0C$$−$$1$$ . The coefficient of linear expansion of the glass is $$5$$×$$10$$−$$5$$ $$0C$$−$$1$$ at $$300C$$ , the length of the glass plate is $$3cm$$. this plate is placed in front of one of the sits in Young’s $$double-slit$$ experiment. If the plate is being heated so that its temperature increases at a rate of $$5$$ $$0C$$−$$1min$$ , the light source has wavelength λ$$=589nm$$ and the glass plate initially is at θ$$=300C$$ . The number of fringes that shift on the screen in each minute is nearly (use$$ $$approximation)
