Answer:
the points are closer to each other
Explanation:
The expression for the diffraction of a grating is
d sin θ = m λ
sin θ = m λ / d (1)
where d is the distance between slits and m is the order of diffraction, the most general is to work in the order m = 1, the angle te is the angle of diffraction
When we immerse the apparatus in a medium with refractive index n = 1.33, the light emitted by the laser must comply
v = λ f
where v is the speed of light in the medium, the frequency remains constant
velocity and refractive index are related
n = c / v
v = c / n
we substitute
c / n = λf
λ = [tex]\frac{c}{f} \ \frac{1}{n}[/tex]
λ = λ₀ / m
where λ₀ is the wavelength in vacuum
we substitute is equation 1
d sin θ = m λ₀ / n
sin θ = λ₀/ n d
sin θ = [tex]\frac{1}{n}[/tex] sin θ₀
we can see that the value of the sine is redueced since the refractive index is greater than 1,
consequently the points are closer to each other
