When a thin transparent sheet is placed in front of a Young's double slit, the fringe-width will
Options
- Abecome nonuniform
- Bremain the same
- Cincrease
- Ddecrease
Correct answer
B. remain the same
Step-by-step solution
The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is given by .
When a thin transparent sheet of thickness and refractive index is placed in front of one of the slits, an additional path difference of is introduced. This causes the entire fringe pattern to shift by a distance .
The fringe width depends only on the wavelength , the distance between the slits and the screen , and the distance between the slits . Since these parameters remain unchanged, the fringe width remains the same.
