In two separate setups for Biprism experiment using same wavelength, fringes of equal width are obtained. If ratio of slit separation is \(2: 3\) then the ratio of the distance between the slit and screen in the two setups is

  1. A \(2: 3\)
  2. B \(1: 2\)
  3. C \(4: 9\)
  4. D \(9: 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(2: 3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fringe width, \(W=\frac{\lambda \cdot D}{d}\)
For constant \(\mathrm{W}\) and \(\lambda\), \(D \propto d\)
\(
\therefore \frac{\mathrm{D}_1}{\mathrm{D}_2}=\frac{\mathrm{d}_1}{\mathrm{~d}_2}=\frac{2}{3}
