The width of the fringes obtained with a light of wave length \(6.2 \times 10^{-8}\) m is 1.82 mm. If the whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.3, what will be the width of the resulting fringe?

  1. A \(1.4\) mm
  2. B \(1.82\) mm
  3. C \(2.8\) mm
  4. D \(0.71\) mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.4\) mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The fringe width in air is given by \(\beta = \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}\). When the apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \(\mu\), the wavelength of light in the liquid becomes \(\lambda' = \dfrac{\lambda}{\mu}\). The new fringe width is…
