In Young's double slit experiment, the angular width of a fringe is found to be 0.2^ on a screen placed 1m away. The wavelength of light used in 600 nm. If the entire apparatus is immersed in water of refractive index 4/3. the angular width of the fringe will be
Options
- A0.10^
- B0.15^
- C0.20^
- D0.25^
Correct answer
B. 0.15^
Step-by-step solution
The angular width of a fringe in Young's double slit experiment is given by = d When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index , the wavelength of light changes to ' = The new angular width becomes ' = ' d = d = Given = 0.2^ and = 4 3 ' = 0.2^ 4/3 = 0.2^ 3 4 = 0.15^ Answer: 0.15^
