The angular width of a fringe in a double slit experiment is found to be 0.2° on a screen 1 m away. The wavelength of light used is 600 nm. The change in angular width of the fringe if the entire measurement system is immersed in water is [Use refractive index of water as 43]

  1. A 0.05°
  2. B 0.10°
  3. C 0.15°
  4. D 0.20°
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.05°

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wavelength of light in a denser medium will decrease. So, λ2=λ1μ=λ143=34 Angular fringe width is given by, βθ=λd⇒βθ∝λ Therefore,…
