In a YDSE, a total of 241 fringe can be seen on the screen. The set up is completely immersed in water. What will be the number of fringes now seen on the screen?

Answer»

Solution :The total number of fringes is given by `(2D)/(lambda)+1` assuming `(2d)/(lambda)` to be an integer.
`THEREFORE (2d)/(lambda)+1= 241 implies (2d)/(lambda)= 240 implies (2d)/(lambda)= 240`
Now, let `lambda^(1)` be the changed WAVELENGTH when the YDSE set up is submerged in water.
Then the total number of fringes will be
`(2d)/(lambda)+1= (2 d mu)/(lambda)+1= 240(4/3)+1`
`(therefore mu" for water "= 4"/"3)= 321`.
