Solution

The correct option is A Intensity at the position of central maxima must decrease
Young's double-slit experiment is performed with monochromatic light. A thin film is introduced in the path of the slit then, the intensity at the position of central maxima must decrease because the light intensity coming from the slit decreases when the thin film is introduced.
So, the correct option is option (A).

Q. In a standard YDSE setup, the fringe width on the screen is 1.5 mm. When a thin glass film is pasted in front of the upper slit, the fringe pattern shifts up. But it is seen that at a point P above central maxima where intensity was one fourth the intensity at central maxima, intensity remains the same. There were no maxima between central maxima and point P before film was introduced. What can be the thickness of the film? Take
