In a Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is \(\beta\). If the entire apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \(\mu\), the new fringe width is

  1. A \(\beta\)
  2. B \(\beta \mu^{-2}\)
  3. C \(\beta \mu^{-1}\)
  4. D \(\beta \mu\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\beta \mu^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\) \(\lambda' = \frac{\lambda}{\mu}\) \(\beta' = \frac{\lambda' D}{d} = \frac{(\lambda/\mu) D}{d}\) \(\beta' = \frac{1}{\mu} \left(\frac{\lambda D}{d}\right) = \beta \mu^{-1}\)
