    Youngs double slit experiment arrangement is shifted from air to water medium, the fringe width

    A)  increases                           

    B)  decreases

    C)  becomes infinite            

    D)  remains the same

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     When apparatus is in air, \[{{\beta }_{air}}=\frac{D\lambda }{d}\]When apparatus is immersed in water, the wavelength of light decreases to\[\frac{\lambda }{\mu }\] Therefore,    \[{{\beta }_{water}}=\frac{D\lambda }{\mu d}\]ie,\[\beta \]decreases as\[\lambda \]decreases.
