1) Upon passing monochromatic light (‘one color’ or one wavelength) through a double-slit, a series of equally-spaced bright fringes appears on a screen. This spacing of the fringes depends on the wavelength of the monochromatic light, the distance to the screen, and the spacing between these two slits. Upon passing this same monochromatic light through this same double-slit with the same distance to the screen, only now with the entire apparatus completely submerged in water, does the fringe spacing increase,...
