In a double slit experiment, the distance between slits is increased 10 times whereas their distance from screen is halved, then what is the fringe width?
Options
- AIt remains same
- BBecomes 1 / 10
- CBecomes 1 / 20
- DBecomes 1 / 90
Correct answer
C. Becomes 1 / 20
Step-by-step solution
Let be wavelength of monochromatic light, d the distance between coherent sources, and D the distance between screen and source, then fringe width is = D d Given, d₁=d, D₁=D, d₂=10 d, D₂= D 2 ₂= D 2 10 d = D 20 d ₂= W 20
