Question
Which magnetic materials have
(i) relative permeability > 1
(ii) relative permeability <1?

Answer

(i) Both paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials have relative permeability (μr) greater than 1. μr is only slightly greater than 1 for a paramagnetic material. μr is very high for a ferromagnetic material and is a function of the magnetizing field (also called the magnetic field intensity).(ii) μr is slightly less than 1 for a diamagnetic material.

In Young's double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 microns is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the slits-to-screen distance is doubled. It is found that the distance between successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe shift with the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used.
