A vessel of width has two small slits and sealed with identical glass plates of equal thickness. The distance between the slits is . is the line perpendicular to the plane and passing through , the

middle point of and , A monochromatic light source is kept at , cm below and from the vessel, to illuminate the slits as shown in the figure alongside. After a liquid is poured into the vessel and filled upto it was found that the central bright fringe is now located at . Calculate the refractive index of that liquid.

The correct answer is:
Given

Initial path difference = & geometrical path difference
For central maxima, total path difference has to be zero.
i.e.,
Now as central bright fringe is at Q. them the optical path difference is & for central maxima
