A double slit setup is shown in the figure. One of the slits is in medium 2 of refractive index n2. The other slit is at the interface of this medium with another medium 1 of refractive index n 1 (
n 2 ). The line joining the slits is perpendicular to the interface and the distance between the slits is d . The slit widths are much smaller than d. A monochromatic parallel beam of light is incident on the slits from medium 1. A detector is placed in medium 2 at a large distance from the slits, and at an angle
from the line joining them, so that
equals the angle of refraction of the beam. Consider two approximately parallel rays from the slits received by the detector.
