A plane wavefront (wavelength`=lambda`) is falling on `YDSE` apparatus as shown in the figure. The lower half of it is filled with water (refractive index `=1.5`). How many maximas can be theoretically obtained on the screen if `d=98 lambda` and `D=20000 lambda` (including the maxima at infinity)

A

`245`

B

`246`

C

`122`

D

`123`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Maximum path difference `=(49lambda)/(lambda)+(49lambda)/(lambda//1.5)=122.5` wavelengths
Number of maxima `=245`

In a YDSE experiment the two slits are covered with a transparent membrane of negligible thickness which allows light to pass through it but does not allow water. A glass slab of thickness t=0.41 mm and refractive index mu_(g)=1.5 is placed infront of one of the slits as shown in the figure. The separation between the slits is d=0.30 mm . The entire space to the left of the slits is filled with water of refractive index mu_(w)=4//3 .
