Q125 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Physics

In a double slit experiment, when light of wavelength 400 nm was used, the angular width of the first minima formed on a screen placed 1 m away was found to be 0.2°. What will be the angular width of the first minima, if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed in water? μwater=43

  • A
    0.266°
  • Correct answer
    B
    0.15°
  • C
    0.05°
  • D
    0.1°

Solution

In air angular fringe width is given by, θ=λd.
Angular fringe width in water,  θ'=θμ=0.243=0.15°

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