YDSE: Film, Medium & Two Wavelengths

A double slit experiment is immersed in water of refractive index 1.331.33. The slit separation is 11 mm, distance between slit and screen is 1.331.33 m. The slits are illuminated by a light of wavelength 63006300 \AA. The fringewidth is x×10−4 mx \times 10^{-4}\text{ m}. The value of ′x′'x' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. In water β=λDμd\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{\mu d}.
  2. β=6300×10−10×1.331.33×1×10−3=6.3×10−4\beta = \frac{6300\times10^{-10}\times1.33}{1.33\times1\times10^{-3}} = 6.3\times10^{-4} m
  3. So x=6.3x = 6.3, answer (d).
