Optics Question 775

Question: Refractive index of air is 1.0003. The correct thickness of air column which will have one more wavelength of yellow light (6000AA) than in the same thickness in vacuum is

[RPMT 1995]

Options:

A) 2 mm

B) 2 cm

C) 2 m

D) 2 km

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

For vacuum t=nλo …..(i)

For air t=(n+1)λa …..(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) t=λμ1=6×1071.00031

(μ=λoλa)

=2×103m = 2mm.
