Dear student

Wavelength of light in water is less than that in air. The fringe width is directly proportional to the wavelength. Therefore, the fringes will become narrower.

If the young's double slit experiment set-up is immersed in water, then the fringes become narrower. You have learnt in the text how Huygens' principle leads to the laws of reflection and refraction.  The reflected wavefront AB'C, appears to start from I. Hence, I becomes virtual image for O as real point object.
