Part B
The top ray travels root(102)/20m
The bottom one 0.5000089999m
^^^ using pythag
Difference of 4.966246999x10^-3m =1.25t-(0.5000089999-t)
t=0.224(433) but it says it’s wrong

Is your t in m, cm or mm?
0.224(433)= 97 m, 97 cm or 9.7 mm?

Try to explain the concepts that you are using instead of using numbers.

Everything in m

If you are marked correct, it would be ridiculous.
0.224(433)= 97 m is far larger than L = 50.0 cm

The number of waves in the glass of thickness t of refractive index ng:
Next, find the increase ΔN in the number of waves in the glass when it replaces air of the same thickness, t.
You are given how much the central band O is shifted down, and this is related to the product of ΔN and fringe width.
Spoiler:
ΔN × fringe width = 5.00 mm
Show
ΔN × fringe width = 5.00 mm

Without the glass, the central band O is in the middle. The central band O is shifted towards Y by 5.00 mm in the presence of glass of thickness t.

16 micrometers was calculated by doing
λ = ax/D = nt/ΔN
ΔNx= 5x10^-3 m
a = 2x10^-3 m
D = 0.5 m
n= 1.25
What have I missed?

n is the difference in refractive indexes of the 2 mediums so 0.25 not 1.25

Shouldn’t n(g) be n(medium)-n(air) so 0.25?

I’ve equated this to ax/d then used delta N x = 5mm and got 16 micrometers as the ans. I put this into the site and it says ‘You need to consider the extra phase resulting from introducing the glass, when compared to what one would have if the glass were removed.’

It make no sense for the refractive index of glass to be less than that of vacuum.

The refractive index of glass is still 1.25

I meant where you put ng in the formula it should have been n(glass)-n(air) so 0.25. By doing this you’ll get the correct answer.

What you are finding is the difference of the number of waves in glass and air NOT the number of waves in the glass (this is what the first maths expression implies).

You are "blindly" applying the mathematical expressions or equation without really understanding the meaning of them.
is NOT the number of waves in the glass.

What OP had done is (as far as I can see) putting everything together without understanding the physical meaning.
I did explicitly state that
