In Young's double-slit experiment, the wavelength of light was changed from `7000 Å` to 3500 Å`. While doubling the separation between the slits, which of the following is not true for this experiment?

A

The width of fringe changes.

B

The color of bright fringes change.

C

The separation between seccessive bright fringes changes.

D

The separation between successive bright fringes unchanged.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Fringe width,` beta = (lambda D)/(d)`
`beta` becomes `(1//4th)` when `lambda` is half and d is doubled. The separation between successive dark fringes reduces. It does not remain unchanged.
