Interference was observed in an interference chamber when air was present. Now, the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used, a careful observation will show
Options
- Ano interference
- Binterference with bright band
- Cinterference with dark bands
- Dinterference in which breadth of the fringe will be slightly increased
Correct answer
D. interference in which breadth of the fringe will be slightly increased
Step-by-step solution
When chamber is evacuated, the refractive index ( ) decreases. Therefore, wavelength increases.
Now, fringe width is given by
Therefore, as wavelength increases, the fringe width will increase.
