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

The difference in the number of waves when yellow light propagates through air and vacuum columns of the same thickness is one. The thickness of the air column is \(....\,{mm} .\) [Refractive index of air \(=1.0003\), wavelength of yellow light in vacuum \(=6000 \,\mathring {{A}}\) ]

  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know Thickness \({t}={n} \lambda\) \({So}, {n} \lambda_{{vac}}=({n}+1) \lambda_{{air}}\) \({n} \lambda=({n}+1) \frac{\lambda}{\mu_{{air}}}\) \(n=\frac{1}{\mu_{\text {air }}-1}=\frac{10^{4}}{3}\) \({t}={n} \lambda\) \(=\frac{10^{4}}{3} \times 6000\, \stackrel{\circ}{{A}}\)…
