In a Young's double slit experiment, the slits are separated by 0.2 mm. If the slits separation is increased to 0.4 mm , the percentage change of the fringe width is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(50 \%\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\beta=\frac{\mathrm{D} \lambda}{\mathrm{~d}} \propto \frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\)
If d is doubled then \(\beta\) is half so \(50 \%\) decrement.
If d is doubled then \(\beta\) is half so \(50 \%\) decrement.
