Options:

A) Remain unshifted

B) Shift downward by nearly two fringes

C) Shift upward by nearly two fringes

D) Shift downward by 10 fringes

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

If shift is equal to n fringes width, then n=(μ1)tλ=(1.51)×2×106500×109=1500×103=2 Since a thin film is introduced in upper beam. So shift will be upward.
