Question
A Young's double slit experiment is performed with white light:
  1. The central fringe will be white.
  2. There will not be a completely dark fringe.
  3. The fringe next to the central will be red.
  4. The fringe next to the central will be violet.

Answer

  1. The central fringe will be white.
  2. There will not be a completely dark fringe.
  1. The fringe next to the central will be violet.
Explanation:
The superposition of all the colours at the central maxima gives the central band a white colour. As we go from the centre to corner, the fringe colour goes from violet to red. There will not be a completely dark fringe, as complete destructive interference does not take place.
