In a double-slit experiment,the angular width of the fringes is $0.20^o$ for sodium light $(\lambda = 5890 \ \mathring{A})$. In order to increase the angular width of the fringes by $10\%$,the necessary change in the wavelength is:

  • A
    Increase of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • B
    Decrease of $589 \ \mathring{A}$
  • C
    Increase of $6479 \ \mathring{A}$
  • D
    Zero

In a Young's double slit experiment,the angular width of a fringe is $0.35^{\circ}$ on a screen placed at $2\,m$ away for a particular wavelength of $450\,nm$. The angular width of the fringe,when the whole system is immersed in a medium of refractive index $7/5$,is $\frac{1}{\alpha}$. The value of $\alpha$ is ..............
