Choose the incorrect statements from the options given below:
(A) If a monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light in Young's experiment, then interference fringes will be coloured,
(B) If the screen is moved away from the plane of slits, then the angular width of the fringe will not remain the same,
(C) If separation between slits in Young's experiment is halved, the fringe width becomes double,
(D) The fringe width in Young's experiment is \( \lambda d/D \)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A)and (B) only
  2. B (B) and (D) only
  3. C (A) and (C) only
  4. D (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (B) and (D) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Correct. White light causes coloured fringes. (B) Incorrect. Angular width \( \theta = \lambda/d \) is independent of screen distance. (C) Correct. \( \beta = \lambda D/d \). Halving \( d \) doubles \( \beta \). (D) Incorrect. Fringe width is \( \beta = \lambda D/d \).…
