The correct answer is:
\( 1.5 \)
Given that the wavelength, thickness of the slab and the shift of the central fringe by the number of fringe widths are,
.
If the central bright fringe is shifted by , then at the centre point of the screen, bright fringe will have a path difference of . Here, Fringe width.
For a bright fringe at the centre of the screen, path difference is, .
