Q.

A thin large film having refractive index  μ=32, is placed in front of slits S1 and  S2 of Young's double slit experiment such that its thickness varies according to the equation  t=t0cos25πy4d where y = 0 is taken at  S1. Find the value of t0  such that there is central maxima at P (refer diagram) Assume  D>>d
