    In a double slit experiment, the screen is placed at a distance of 1.25 m from the slits. When the apparatus is immersed in water\[({{\mu }_{w}}=4/3)\], the angular width of a fringe is found to be\[{{0.2}^{o}}\]. When the experiment is performed in air with same set up, the angular width of the fringe is

    A)  \[{{0.4}^{o}}\]               

    B)         \[{{0.27}^{o}}\]

    C)  \[{{0.35}^{o}}\]             

    D)         \[{{0.15}^{o}}\]

    E)  \[{{0.22}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When the apparatus is immersed in water the angular width of a fringe\[\theta =\frac{\lambda }{d}\]and\[\theta ={{0.2}^{o}}\] and the angular width of a fringe in air \[\theta =\frac{\lambda }{d}\] \[\frac{1}{{{\mu }_{w}}}=\frac{\lambda }{\lambda }\] \[\frac{\lambda }{\lambda }=\frac{3}{4}\] Now,     \[\frac{\theta }{\theta }=\frac{\lambda }{\lambda }\]                 \[\theta =\frac{\lambda }{\lambda }\times \theta \]                 \[\theta =\frac{3}{4}\times {{0.2}^{o}}\]                 \[\theta =0.15{}^\circ \]
