    In a double slit experiment, when light of
    wavelength 400 nm was used, the angular
    width of the first minima formed on a screen
    placed 1 m away, was found to be 0.2°. What
    will be the angular width of the first minima,
    if the entire experimental apparatus is immersed
    in water? (``μ_{water}
    = \frac43``)
    (1) 0.266°
    (2) 0.15°
    (3) 0.05°
    (4) 0.1°

    Sol. In air angular fringe width
    ``\theta_0 = {\beta}{D}``
    Angular fringe width in water
    ``\theta_w = {\beta}{\mu D}``
    ``= \frac{0.2}{\frac{4}{3} } = {0.15}^{°}``
