Physics Question from JEE Main 2023 · 1 February, Shift 2

In Young's double slit experiment the two slits are S1S_1 (upper) and S2S_2 (lower), cut in a barrier, and the pattern is observed at a point PP on a screen placed parallel to the barrier. A thin plate of thickness t=10μmt = 10 \, \mu\text{m} and refractive index μ=1.2\mu = 1.2 is inserted immediately in front of slit S1S_1. The experiment is conducted in air (μ=1\mu = 1) and uses a monochromatic light of wavelength λ=500nm\lambda = 500 \, \text{nm}. Due to the insertion of the plate, central maxima is shifted by a distance of xβ0x\beta_0. β0\beta_0 is the fringe-width before the insertion of the plate. The value of the xx is _____.
