34. Wave Optics Young's Double Slit Experiment
3PRACTICE PROBLEM
In a double-slit experiment, a light source of wavelength 650 nm is used to illuminate the slits. A thin material with a refractive index of 1.6 is used to cover one of the slits. The interference pattern that is produced is therefore displaced to one side, and m = 8 (in the absence of the material) will be displaced to the position of the central maximum. Calculate the material's thickness.
