JEE Main & Advanced Physics Wave Optics / तरंग प्रकाशिकी Question Bank Young's Double Slit Experiment and Biprism

  • question_answer
    In Young's double slit experiment, angular width of fringes is 0.20o for sodium light of wavelength 5890 Å. If complete system is dipped in water, then angular width of fringes becomes                                            [RPET 1997]

    A)            0.11o                                                             

    B)            0.15o

    C)            0.22o                                                             

    D)            0.30o

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Angular fringe width \[\theta =\frac{\lambda }{d}\Rightarrow \theta \propto \lambda \] \[{{\lambda }_{w}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\mu }_{w}}}\] So \[{{\theta }_{w}}=\frac{{{\theta }_{\text{air}}}}{{{\mu }_{\text{w}}}}\] \[=\frac{0.20}{\frac{4}{3}}=0.15{}^\circ \]
