14. In Young's double slit experiment, using monochromatic light, fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thichness 1.964 mm is introduced in the path of one of the two waves. If now mica sheet is removed and distance between slit and screen is doubled, distance between successive max. or min. remains unchanged. The wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment is 
(a) 4000 Å    (b) 5500 Å    (c) 5892 Å        (d) 6071 Å

18. Monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 Å is incident on two slits separated by a distance of 5 × 10–4 m. Interference pattern is seen on the screen placed at a distance of 1 m from the slits. A thin glass plate of thickness 1.5 × 10–6 m and refractive index 1.5 is laced between one of the slits and the screen. If intensity in the absence of plate was Io then new intensity at the centre of the screen will be
