उत्तर
the fringe width will decrease
As fringe width is proportional to the wavelength and wavelength of light is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium,
Here,
\[\lambda_M = \lambda/\eta\]
\[ \lambda_M = \text{wavelength in medium}\]
\[\lambda = \text{wavelength in vacuum}\]
\[\eta = \text{refractive index of medium}\]
Hence, fringe width decreases when Young's double slit experiment is performed under water.
