Question
Using the equation for the distance between fringes, Δy = xλ d , complete the following. (a) Calculate the distance (in cm) between fringes for 694 nm light falling on double slits separated by 0.0850 mm, located 4.00 m from a screen. cm (b) What would be the distance between fringes (in cm) if the entire apparatus were submersed in water, whose index of refraction is 1.333? cm

Answer:
Explanation:
Distance between fringe or fringe width = xλ / d
where x is location of screen and d is slit separation
Given x = 4 m
λ = 694 nm
d = .085 x 10⁻³ m
distance between fringes
= 4 x 694 x 10⁻⁹ / .085 x 10⁻³
= 4 x 694 x 10⁻⁹ / 85 x 10⁻⁶
= 32.66 x 10⁻³ m
= 32.66 mm .
3.267 cm
b )
when submerged in water , wavelength in water becomes as follows
wavelength in water = wave length / refractive index
= 694 / 1.333 nm
= 520.63 nm
new distance between fringes
3.267 / 1.333
= 2.45 cm .
