MCQ
The fringe width in Young's double-slit experiment can be increased if we decrease
  • Separation of the slits
  • B
    Distance between the source and the screen
  • C
    Wavelength of the source
  • D
    All of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Separation of the slits
a
(a)

Fringe width $(\beta)=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

Hence if we decrease $d\left(\beta \propto \frac{1}{d}\right)$

$\beta$ is increased.
