First slide
In YDSE one of the slits is covered with a thin transparent sheet
Question

 Interference fringes were produced in Young's double slit experiment using light of wavelength 5000 A. When a film of material 2.5 x 1O-3 cm thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by a distance equal to 20 fringe widths. The reactive index of the material of the film is

Easy
Solution

S=(μ1)t(D/2d)     2d is taken as distance between the slits.  But β=λD2d  or  D2d=βλ  S=(μ1)t(β/λ) or 20β=(μ1)25×103β/5000×108 or (μ1)=20×5000×1082.5×103=0.4 or μ=14
