Physics Question on Youngs double slit experiment

As shown in the figure, in Young's double slit experiment, a thin plate of thickness t=10μmt=10 \mu m and refractive index μ=12\mu=12 is inserted infront of slit S1S_1 The experiment is conducted in air (μ1)(\mu-1) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength λ=500nm\lambda=500 nm Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of xβ0β0x \beta_0 \beta_0 is the fringe-width befor the insertion of the plate The value of the xx is ___

Answer

The correct answer is 4.
Fringe shift x=λt(μ−1)​B
=5×10−710×10−6(1.2−1)​B
=5×10−710−5×0.2​=4
