JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 10. Wave optics

In young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is \(12\,mm\). If the entire arrangement is placed in water of refractive index \(\frac{4}{3}\), then the fringe width becomes \((in\,mm)\)

  1. A \(16\)
  2. B \(9\)
  3. C \(48\)
  4. D \(12\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a given light wavelength corresponding a medium of refractive index \(\mu\) \(\lambda_{\text {med }}=\frac{\lambda_{\text {vacuum }}}{\mu}\) and we know that fringe width \(\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{ d }\) Therefore,…
