A) increases
B) decreases
C) becomes infinite
D) remains the same
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
When apparatus is in air. P air, \[{{\beta }_{air}}=\frac{D\lambda }{d}\] When apparatus is immersed in water, the wavelength of light decreases to \[\frac{\lambda }{\mu }\] Therefore, \[{{\beta }_{water}}=\frac{D\lambda }{\mu d}\] ie, \[\beta \] decreases as \[\lambda ,\] decreases.
