On introducing mica sheet, fringe shift\mathrm{ =\frac{\beta}{\lambda}(\mu-1) \mathrm{t}}

Where, t is thickness of sheet.

So, shift \mathrm{ =\frac{\beta}{\left(5000 \times 10^{-10}\right)} \times(1.5-1) \times\left(4 \times 10^{-6}\right)=4 \beta}

So, central bright maximum will shift 4 fringes upward.
