    A Young's Double slit experiment is performed in air and in water. Which of the following relationship is true regarding fringe width (\[\beta \])?

    A) \[{{\beta }_{AIR}}>{{\beta }_{WATER}}\]

    B) \[{{\beta }_{WATER}}>{{\beta }_{AIR}}\]

    C) \[{{\beta }_{AIR}}={{\beta }_{WATER}}\]

    D) \[{{\beta }_{WATER}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct
    Explanation: \[\beta \propto \lambda \] and \[\lambda \propto 1\,/\,\mu \]
    So,  \[\beta \propto 1\,/\,\mu \]
    Since \[{{\mu }_{WATER}}>{{\mu }_{AIR}}\]
    \[\therefore \]          \[{{\beta }_{AIR}}>{{\beta }_{WATER}}\]
