Monochromatic light of wavelength lambda, such as light from a laser, is directed through two narrow parallel slits that are a distance d apart. There is a viewing screen a very long distance R away from the slits that is used to observe the interference pattern that emerges from the light shining through the slits. The interference pattern is a series of alternating, equally spaced, bright and dark fringes, like that shown in the figure. If you submerged the entire apparatus into a tank of water, how is the new interference pattern different from the original one?

defining the question

o so When the entire apparatus is submerged into a tank of water, the interference pattern observed on the viewing screen will be different from the original one. This is because the wavelength of light changes when it travels from one medium (air) to another medium (water) due to the change in the refractive index.
