Question

In Young's double-slit experiment, the y-coordinates of central maxima and 10 th maxima are 2 cm and 5 cm, respectively. When the YDSE apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.5, the corresponding y-coordinates will be (A) 2 cm , 7.5 cm (B) 3 cm , 6 cm (C) 2 cm , 4 cm (D) 4 / 3 cm , 103 cm

Fringe width, β propto λ. Therefore, λ and hence β will decrease 1.5 times when immersed in the liquid. The distance between central maxima and 10th maxima is 3 cm in vacuum. When immersed in the liquid, it will reduce to 2 cm. Position of central maxima will not change while 10 th maxima will be obtained at y=4 cm.

Q. In Young's double-slit experiment, the $y$ -coordinates of central maxima and $10$ th maxima are $2 c m$ and $5 c m$ , respectively. When the YDSE apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.5$ , the corresponding $y$ -coordinates will be

$2 c m, 7.5 c m$

$3 c m, 6 c m$

$2 c m, 4 c m$

$4/3 c m, 103 c m$
