Wave Optics

  1. In Young’s double slit experiment the distance between the slits and the screen is doubled. The separation between the slits is reduced to half. As a result the fringe width
    1. is doubled
    2. is halved
    3. becomes four times
    4. remains unchanged
Correct Option: C

Fringe width

β =
λD
d

From question D′ = 2D
and d' =
d
2

β' =
λD1
= 4β
d1
