Q143 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (18 Jul Shift 1) · Physics

A Young's double slit experiment apparatus has slits separated by 0.2 mm and a screen 60 cm away from the slits. The whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid medium of refractive index 119 and the slits are illuminated with green light (λ=550 nm in vacuum). Find the fringe width of the pattern formed on the screen.

  • A
    0.95mm
  • B
    1.25mm
  • Correct answer
    C
    1.35mm
  • D
    1.45mm

Solution

When a light wave enters a medium of refractive index μ, its wavelength becomes λ'=λμ. 

Fringe width in YDSE is given by β=λ'Dd=550×10-9×60×10-2119×2×10-4=1.35 mm.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
