    In Youngs 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)  0.5mm         

    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. \[\ \therefore \] \[\frac{{{W}_{a}}}{{{W}_{w}}}=\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\lambda }_{w}}}\] Also, \[\frac{{{\lambda }_{a}}}{{{\lambda }_{w}}}=\mu \] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{0.8}{{{W}_{w}}}=\mu =1.6\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{W}_{w}}=\frac{0.8}{1.6}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5\,mm\]
