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 (X=6000Ao) 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 λ=6000Ao=6×105cm in a thickness d cm in vacuum is nv=dλ

Since the refractive index of air μ=1.0003, the wavelength in air will be λa=λμ

Therefore, number of waves of wavelength λa of air is na=dλa=dμλ

Given that na+1=nv

Hence dμλ+1=dλ

d=λμ1

=6×105cm1.00031

=0.2cm=2mm
