Match List-I with List-II regarding the changes made to a standard Young's double slit experiment setup and their effects on the angular fringe width.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List-I (Change in setup) | List-II (Effect on angular fringe width) |
|---|---|
| A. Screen moved away from slits | I. Increases |
| B. Slit separation is halved | II. Decreases |
| C. Setup is immersed in a liquid of refractive index | III. Remains constant |
| D. Incident light changed from blue to red | IV. Becomes double |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-I, B-II, C-II, D-I
- BA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- CA-III, B-II, C-I, D-II
- DA-I, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Correct answer
B. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
The angular fringe width in a Young's double slit experiment is given by , where is the wavelength and is the slit separation. It is independent of the screen distance .
A. Screen moved away from slits: Since does not depend on , the angular fringe width remains constant. (A III)
B. Slit separation is halved: New slit separation . The new angular width . It becomes double. (B IV)
C. Setup is immersed in a liquid: The wavelength decreases to . Since , the angular fringe width decreases. (C II)
D. Incident light changed from blue to red: The wavelength of red light is greater than that of blue light (). Since , the angular fringe width increases. (D I)
Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
A. Screen moved away from slits: Since does not depend on , the angular fringe width remains constant. (A III)
B. Slit separation is halved: New slit separation . The new angular width . It becomes double. (B IV)
C. Setup is immersed in a liquid: The wavelength decreases to . Since , the angular fringe width decreases. (C II)
D. Incident light changed from blue to red: The wavelength of red light is greater than that of blue light (). Since , the angular fringe width increases. (D I)
Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
