STATEMENT-1 : If we increase the separation, between slits, then angular fringe width decreases. STATEMENT-2 : Angular fringe width increases by increasing slit separation.

Options

  1. AStatement -1 is True, Statement -2 is True; Statement -2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1.
  2. BStatement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True; Statement - 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement - 1.
  3. CStatement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is False.
  4. DStatement - 1 is False, Statement - 2 is True.

Correct answer

C. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is False.

Step-by-step solution

Angular fringe width is inversely proportional to separation both slits.
