NEET Physics Young's Double Slit Experiment MCQ Question
A Young's double-slit experimental set up is kept in a medium of refractive index 4/3. Which maxima in this case will coincide with the maxima obtained if the medium is replaced by air?
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The position of maxima is given by the formula nλ = d sin θ. In a medium, the wavelength changes, affecting the order of maxima.
