Interference was observed in interference chamber when air was present, now the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used, a careful observer will see
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The refractive index of air is slightly more than 1. When chamber is evacuated, refractive index decreases and hence the wavelength increases and fringe width also increases.
