Young's double slit experiment is carried out by using green, red and blue light, one colour at a time. The fringewidths recorded are WGW_G, WRW_R and WBW_B respectively. Then

Options

  1. AWB>WG>WRW_B > W_G > W_R
  2. BWR>WB>WGW_R > W_B > W_G
  3. CWR>WG>WBW_R > W_G > W_B
  4. DWG>WB>WRW_G > W_B > W_R

Correct answer

C. WR>WG>WBW_R > W_G > W_B

Step-by-step solution

The fringe width in Young's double slit experiment is given by W=λDdW = \dfrac{\lambda D}{d}.

For a given experimental setup, DD and dd are constant, so W∝λW \propto \lambda.

The wavelengths of red, green, and blue light follow the order λR>λG>λB\lambda_R > \lambda_G > \lambda_B.

Therefore, the corresponding fringe widths will be in the order WR>WG>WBW_R > W_G > W_B.

Answer: WR>WG>WBW_R > W_G > W_B
