Problem

A glass flake of refractive index 1.51.5 is placed over one opening of a double-slit apparatus. The interference pattern is displaced through seven successive maxima towards the side where the flake is placed. If the wavelength of light is λ=600 nm\lambda=600\,\mathrm{nm}, the thickness of the flake is (1) 2100 nm2100\,\mathrm{nm} (2) 4200 nm4200\,\mathrm{nm} (3) 8400 nm8400\,\mathrm{nm} (4) None of these
