YDSE: Film, Medium & Two Wavelengths

In Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is 12 mm12\text{ mm}. If the entire arrangement is placed in water of refractive index 43\frac{4}{3}, then the fringe width becomes (in mm):

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. In water β′=βμ\beta' = \frac{\beta}{\mu}.
  2. β′=124/3=9\beta' = \frac{12}{4/3} = 9 mm
  3. So the answer is (b) 9.
