In Young's double-slit experiment if yellowlight is replaced by blue light, the interferencefringes
become

  1. A wider
  2. B narrower
  3. C brighte!
  4. D darker
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) narrower

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In Young's double slit experiment if yellow light is replacedby blue light then the interference fringes will become
narrower.
We know fringe width is \( \beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d} \)
\( \Rightarrow \beta \propto \lambda \)
Wavelength of yellow light \( > \) Wavelength of blue light
Therefore, fringe width will decrease.
