MCQ
Identify which of the following color light, when passed through a double-slit opening, will produce the widest central band of light on the screen?
  • Red
  • B
    Orange
  • C
    Yellow
  • D
    Blue

Answer

Correct option: A.
Red

Fringe width $\beta= \frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}$ where $\lambda $ is the wavelength of the light used
$\Rightarrow\beta\propto\lambda$
As wavelength of the red light is the largest among the visible light, thus fringe width is the greatest formed due to red light.
