In air distance of 5th dark fringe is y1
y1=y5thdark =(2×5−1)2dλD=2d9λD
Also, the distance of 8th bright fringe in the medium is y2=y8thBright=8μdλD
y1=y2 (according to question)
29dλD=8μdλD
μ=916=1.78
Young's double slit experiment is first performed in air and then in a medium other than air. It is found that 8th bright fringe in the medium lies where 5th dark fringe lies in air. The refractive index of the medium is nearly
