Vedclass · Answer

(D) The optical path length is defined as the product of the refractive index of the medium and the geometric distance traveled by the light.In vacuum (or air),the optical path for a distance $t$ is $t_{opt} = 1 	imes t = t$.When a mica film of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n$ is introduced,the light travels a distance $t$ through the film.The optical path through the film is $t'_{opt} = n 	imes t = nt$.The change in optical path is $\Delta = t'_{opt} - t_{opt} = nt - t = (n-1)t$.Since $n > 1$,the optical path increases by $(n-1)t$.

$A$ ray of light from a monochromatic point source of light is incident at a point on the screen. If a thin mica film of thickness $t$ and refractive index $n$ is introduced in its path,then the optical path
