A double-slit arrangement produces bright interferencefringes for sodium light (a distinct yellow light at a wavelength ofl = 589 nm).The fringes are angularly separated by 0.30° near thecenter of the pattern.What is the angular fringe separation if theentire arrangement is immersed in water, which has an index ofrefraction of 1.33?

Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will produce fringes of bright and dark or colored bands which are labeled as a diffraction pattern.
