 Two slits \mathrm{S_{1}} and \mathrm{S_{2}} illuminated by a white light source give a white central maxima.\mathrm{A} transparent sheet of refractive index 1.25 and thickness \mathrm{t_{1}} is placed in front of \mathrm{S_{1}}.
Another transparent sheet of refractive index 1.50 and thickness \mathrm{t_{2}}  is placed in front of \mathrm{S_{2}}. If central maxima is not effected, then ratio of the thickness of the two sheets will be

Since there is no shift in central maxima. Therefore path difference introduced by the two sheets are equal i.e. \mathrm{\left(m_{1}-1\right) t_{1}=\left(m_{2}-1\right) t_{2}}

\mathrm{where \: m_{1}\: and \: m_{2}}  are refraction index

\mathrm{i.e. \quad \frac{t_{1}}{t_{2}}=\frac{\left(m_{2}-1\right)}{\left(m_{1}-1\right)}=\frac{(1.5-1)}{(1.25-1)}=\frac{0.5}{0.25}=2}
