In Young’s double-slit experiment, the slit separation is doubled. To maintain the same fringe spacing on the screen, the screen-to-slit distance \(D\) must be changed to,
1. \(2~\text{D}\)
2. \(\frac{\text{D}}{2}\)
3. \(\sqrt{2}~\text{D}\)
4. \(\frac{\text{D}}{\sqrt{2}}\)

The figure shows a Young’s double slit experimental setup. It is observed that when a thin transparent sheet of thickness \(t\) and refractive index \(\mu\) is put in front of one of the slits, the central maximum gets shifted by a distance equal to \(n\) fringe widths. If the wavelength of light used is \(\lambda, t\) will be:
               
1. \( \frac{2 n \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
2. \(\frac{n \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
3. \(\frac{ \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
4. \( \frac{2 \lambda}{(\mu-1)} \)
