Question -

In a double-slit experiment theangular width of a fringe is found to be 0.2┬░ on a screen placed 1 m away. Thewavelength of light used is 600 nm. What will be the angular width of thefringe if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? Takerefractive index of water to be 4/3.



Answer -

Distance of the screen from theslits,┬аD┬а= 1 m

Wavelengthof light used,┬а

┬а

Angularwidth of the fringe in┬а

Angular width of the fringe inwater =

Refractiveindex of water,

Refractive index is related toangular width as:

Therefore, the angular width ofthe fringe in water will reduce to 0.15┬░.
