void c(int i){for(int x=0;x++<i;)System.out.print(i%2<1?92:'/');}

Just like with this answer, the shortest code-golf seems to loop and print. Both recursive and
void c(int i){System.out.print(new String(new char[i]).replace("\0",i%2<1?"\\":"/"));}
seems to be longer.

Ungolfed & test code:

Try it here.

class M{
  static void c(int i){
    for(int x = 0; x++ < i;){
      System.out.print(i % 2 < 1
                        ? 92
                        : '/');
    }
  }

  public static void main(String[] a){
    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
      c(i);
      System.out.println();
    }
  }
}

Output:
