Young's double slit interference apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.44. It has slit separation of 1.5 mm. The slits are illuminated by a parallel beam of light whose wavelength in air is 690 nm. The fringe-width on a screen placed behind the plane of slits at a distance of 0.72 m, will be:
- 0.63 mm
- 0.33 mm
- 0.46 mm
- 0.23 mm
Answer
(4) 0.23 mm
Solution
In the liquid, '= and = 'Dd.
