In Young's double slit experiment, when a glass plate is introduced in the path of one of the beams, it causes an additional path difference due to the change in optical path length. This can result in a shift of the interference pattern.
The formula for the optical path difference introduced by a glass plate is given by:
\(\Delta = (\mu - 1) t\)
where \(\mu\) is the refractive index of the glass plate and \(t\) is its thickness.
For the intensity at the original central maximum to remain unchanged, the introduced path difference \(\Delta\) must be an integral multiple of the wavelength \(\lambda\). Therefore:
\((\mu - 1) t = n\lambda\)
Given: \(\mu = 1.5\) and \(t = x\lambda\).
So, substituting these values, we have:
\(((1.5 - 1) x\lambda) = n\lambda\)
This simplifies to:
\(0.5x\lambda = \lambda\)
Cancelling \(\lambda\) from both sides, we get:
\(0.5x = 1\)
Thus, \(x = \frac{1}{0.5} = 2\)
Therefore, the value of \(x\) is 2, which corresponds to the condition given in the problem statement.
The correct answer is (B) : 2
For the intensity to remain same the position must be of a maxima so path difference must be nλ so
(1.5 – 1)xλ = nλ
x = 2n (n = 0, 1, 2 …)
So, value of x will be
x = 0, 2, 4, 6…
The equivalent resistance between the points \(A\) and \(B\) in the given circuit is \[ \frac{x}{5}\,\Omega. \] Find the value of \(x\).

In the following \(p\text{–}V\) diagram, the equation of state along the curved path is given by \[ (V-2)^2 = 4ap, \] where \(a\) is a constant. The total work done in the closed path is: 
Let \( ABC \) be a triangle. Consider four points \( p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4 \) on the side \( AB \), five points \( p_5, p_6, p_7, p_8, p_9 \) on the side \( BC \), and four points \( p_{10}, p_{11}, p_{12}, p_{13} \) on the side \( AC \). None of these points is a vertex of the triangle \( ABC \). Then the total number of pentagons that can be formed by taking all the vertices from the points \( p_1, p_2, \ldots, p_{13} \) is ___________.
