MCQ

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) : and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : If Young's double slit experiment is performed in an optically denser medium than air, then the consecutive fringes come closer.
Reason (R) : The speed of light reduces in an optically denser medium than air while its frequency does not change.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

✓
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
B
(A) is false but ( $R$ ) is true.
C
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
D
(A) is true but (R) is false.

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

(A) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Sol. $\beta($ fringe width $)=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$
In denser medium, $\lambda \downarrow \Rightarrow \beta \downarrow$
$\Rightarrow$ fringe come closer
Also, $\mu=\frac{ c }{ V } \Rightarrow V =\frac{ c }{\mu}$
Frequency remains same,
$
\Rightarrow \mu=\frac{\lambda_{vac} f}{\lambda_{med} f} \Rightarrow \lambda_{mad}=\frac{\lambda_{vac}}{\mu}
$
