In Young's double-slit experiment, the separation d between the slits is 2 mm, the wavelength λ of the light used is 5896 Å and distance D between the screen and slits is 100 cm. It is found that the angular width of the fringes is 0.20°. To increase the fringe angular width to 0.21° (with same λ and D) the separation between the slits needs to be changed to:-

1. 1.8 mm

2. 1.9 mm

3. 2.1 mm

3. 1.7 mm

Young’s double-slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that the \(8^\mathrm{th}\) bright fringe in the medium lies where the \(5^\mathrm{th}\) dark fringe lies in the air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly:
1. \(1.59\)
2. \(1.69\)
3. \(1.78\)
4. \(1.25\)
