  1. A angular separation of the fringes increases
  2. B angular separation of the fringes decreases
  3. C linear separation of the fringes increases
  4. D linear separation of the fringes decreases
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) linear separation of the fringes increases

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Linear fringe width is given as \(=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\) When Screen is moving away from slits then \(D\) increases, so that fringe width increases.
