Question
In a Young's double  slit experiment the source S and the two slits A and B are vertical with slit A above slit B. The fringes are observed on a vertical screen K. The optical path length from S to B is increased very slightly (by introducing a transparent material of higher refractive index) and the optical path length from S to A is not changed, as a result the fringe system on K moves(a) Vertically downwards slightly(b) Vertically upwards slightly(c) Horizontally, slightly to the left(d) Horizontally, slightly to the right
