In Young's double slit experiment, the 
-coordinates of central maxima and 
maxima are 2 cm and 5 cm respectively. When the YDSE apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.5 the corresponding 
-coordinates will be:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
Distance between central maximum and 
maximum
When YDSE apparatus is immersed in liquid of 
becomes 
and fringe width also becomes 
.
The position of central max remains unchanged i.e., It 
but 
maximum shrinks to
