In a Young's double slit experiment with light of wavelength λ\lambdaλ, fringe pattern on the screen has fringe width β\betaβ. When two thin transparent glass (refractive index μ\muμ ) plates of thickness t1t_1t1​ and t2t_2t2​ (t1>t2)\left(t_1>t_2\right)(t1​>t2​) are placed in the path of the two beams respectively, the fringe pattern will shift by a distance
