Interference is observed in a chamber with air present inside the chamber.The chamber is then evacuated and the same light is again used to produce interference. A careful observer will see

Answer»

no change in the pattern
that the fringe WIDTH SLIGHTLY increases
that the fringe width slightly decreases
no interference pattern.

Solution :The refractive INDEX of air is slightly more than unity. Therefore, when the chamber is evacuated, the refractive index decreases and hence the wavelength increases.This RESULTS in a slight increase in the fringe width.
