Detailed Solution

When whole of the apparatus is immersed in water, then wavelength of light decreases form the relation λ=λ/μ,μ being refractive index of water.

Therefore, fringe width β=d or βλ will decrease as λ decreases when immersed in water. 

Also we conclude that wavelength of light in water is less than that in air.
