CBSEENPH12040176

In Young's double slit experiment, light of wavelength 6000 A0 is used to produced fringes of width 0.8 mm at a distance of 2.5 m. If the whole appart is dropped in liquid of refractive index 1.6, then the fringe width will be

  • 0.2mm

  • 0.4mm

  • 0.5mm

  • 0.6mm

Solution

C.

0.5mm

The Young's double slit experiment belongs to a general class of "double path "experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves that later combine into a single wave.

In water λ is reduced to λμ so λ' so λ' =λ16As ω=dλ      ω'ω=λ'λ=λ16λ  or ω'=0.81.6=0.5mm
