Optics Question 950
Question: The refractive index of air is 1.0003. The thickness of air column which will have one more wavelength of yellow light than in the same thickness in vacuum is
Options:
A) 2 mm
B) 2 cm
C) 2 m
D) 2 km
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] Let d in cm be the thickness of air column = thickness of vacuum column (given).
Number of waves of wavelength
Since the refractive index of air
Therefore, number of waves of wavelength
Given that
Hence
