Choose the correct option: In Young's double-slit experiment, a thin uniform sheet of glass is kept in front of the two slits, parallel to the screen having the slits. The resulting interference pattern will satisfy:

The interference pattern will remain unchanged Explanation: When a barrier is placed before the slits, the only effect that comes is the slowing down of the particle in the sheet of material due to its refractive index. As the glass sheet is placed before both the slits, this change will be even. And hence there is no change in the resultant interference pattern.
