    In Young's experiment using light of wavelength \[6000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\], fringe width obtained at distance \[2.5\,\,m\] is \[0.8\,\,mm\]. If the entire apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \[1.6\], the fringe width will be:

    A) \[0.2\,\,mm\]                   

    B) \[0.4\,\,mm\]

    C) \[0.5\,\,mm\]                   

    D) \[0.6\,\,mm\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Refractive index\[\mu =\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\lambda }_{w}}}\] The fringe width \[(W)\] is given by                 \[W=\frac{D\lambda }{d}\] where, \[\lambda \] is wavelength, \[D\] is distance between source and screen and \[d\] is distance between coherent sources.                 \[\frac{{{W}_{a}}}{{{W}_{b}}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\lambda }_{w}}}\] Also,      \[\frac{0.8}{{{W}_{w}}}=\mu =1.6\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{W}_{w}}=\frac{0.8}{1.6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\,\,mm\]
