Young's double slit inteference apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.44. It has slit separation of 1.5 mm. The slits are illuminated by a parallel beam of light whose wavelength in air is 690 nm. The fringe-width on a screen placed behind the plane of slits at a distance of 0.72 m , will be :
  1. 0.23 mm
  2. 0.33 mm
  3. 0.63 mm
  4. 0.46 mm

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \Delta W=\frac{\lambda D}{d \cdot \mu}=\frac{690 \times 10^{-9} \times 0.72}{1.5 \times 10^{-3} \times 1.44} \\ & \Rightarrow \Delta W=2.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}=0.23 \mathrm{~mm}\end{aligned}$
