Q.

Young's double slit interference apparatus is immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.44. It has slit separation of 1.5 mm. The slits are illuminated by a parallel beam of light whose wavelength in air in 690 nm. The fringe-width on a screen placed behind the plane of slits at a distance of 0.72 m, will be:          [2025]

1 0.23 mm  
2 0.33 mm  
3 0.63 mm  
4 0.46 mm
