As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness t = 10
m and refractive index
=1.2 is inserted infront of slit S 1 . The experiment is conducted in air (
= 1) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength
= 500 nm. Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of
is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate, The value of the x is_____.
