Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-rays in 1895 and is credited with their discovery.

A gold leaf electroscope is charged and the leaves are observed to diverge by a certain amount. A beam of X-rays is allowed to fall upon the electroscope for a short period. The effect is that
Johann Balmer studied the visible spectral lines of hydrogen (the Balmer series), so Balmer is correct.

Fig. 66 shows a double slit experiment. P and Q are the slits. The path lengths PX and QX are nλ and (n − 2)λ respectively, where n is a whole number and λ is the wavelength. Taking the central fringe as zero, what is formed at X ?
The block's explanatory answer gives B; using Ay = λL/d with λ=500 nm, L=1 m, d=1×10^-3 m yields Ay = 5×10^-4 m = 0.5 mm.

In a Young's double slit experiment, the fringe width is found to be 0.4 mm. If the whole apparatus is immersed in water of refractive index 4/3 without disturbing the geometrical arrangement, the new fringe width will be
