Narrow, bright fringes are observed on a screen behind a diffraction grating. The entire experiment is then immersed in water. Do the fringes on the screen get closer together, get farther apart, remain the same, or disappear? Explain.

 n (a sin θ) =  m λ₀

n> 1, therefore the fringes move away from each other

Explanation:

The diffraction experiment the constructive interference fringes is described by

          a sin θ = m λ₀

in this equation it is assumed that the experiment emptied the air n = 1

When the same experiment is performed in water, the wavelength changes

           λₙ = λ₀ / n

execution for constructive interference

            a sin θ = m λₙ

we substitute

           a sin θ = m λ / n

           n (a sin θ) =  m λ₀

the refractive index of water is n = 1.33, so for the same wavelength the separation of the spectrum is multiplied by n> 1, therefore the fringes move away from each other

hope this

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
