In a Young's double slit experiment, an angular width of the fringe is 0.35°0 . 35 ° on a screen placed at 2m2m away for particular wavelength of 450nm450nm. The angular width of the fringe, when whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index 75\dfrac{7}{5}, is 1α\dfrac{1}{\alpha}. The value of α\alpha is _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Angular fringe width is given by θ=λD\theta = \dfrac{\lambda}{D}, where, DD is the distance between the source and the screen and λ\lambda is the wavelength of the light.

We have, θ1θ2=λ1λ2\dfrac{{\theta}_{1}}{{\theta}_{2}} = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{1}}{{\lambda}_{2}}

Then, θ2=0.35∘450nm×450nm75=0.25∘=14(∵λ2=λ1μ)</p><p>Thus,value{\theta}_{2} = \dfrac{{0.35}^{∘}}{450nm} \times \dfrac{450nm}{\dfrac{7}{5}} = {0.25}^{∘} = \dfrac{1}{4} \left(∵ {\lambda}_{2} = \dfrac{{\lambda}_{1}}{\mu}\right)</p><p>Thus, value of \alpha = 4.</p>.</p>
