In Young's double-slit experiment, light of wavelength $4000 \, Å$ is used to produce bright fringes of width $0.6 \, mm$ at a distance of $2 \, m$ from the slits. If the whole apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $1.5$, what will be the new fringe width in $mm$?

  • A
    $0.2$
  • B
    $0.3$
  • C
    $0.4$
  • D
    $1.2$

Young's double-slit experiment is carried out by using green,red,and blue light,one color at a time. The fringe widths recorded are $\beta_G$,$\beta_R$,and $\beta_B$ respectively. Then:

Laser light $(630 \, nm)$ incident on a pair of slits produces an interference pattern in which the bright fringes are separated by $8.3 \, mm$. $A$ second light produces an interference pattern in which the bright fringes are separated by $7.6 \, mm$. What is the wavelength of this second light in $nm$?
