Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.23 mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \Delta W=\frac{\lambda D}{d \cdot \mu}=\frac{690 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.72}{1.5 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.44} \\ & \Rightarrow \Delta W=2.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}=0.23 \mathrm{~mm}\end{aligned}\)
