Question
Interference was observed in interference chamber when air was present, now the chamber is evacuated and if the same light is used, a careful observer will see

Answer

(d)The refractive index of air is slightly more than $1$. When chamber is evacuated, refractive index decreases and hence the wavelength increases and fringe width also increases.
