In Young’s double slit experiment, the central bright fringe can be identified

A

(a) By using white light instead of monochromatic light

B

(b) As it is narrower than other bright fringes

C

(c) As it is wider than other bright fringes

D

(d) As it has a greater intensity than the other bright fringes

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
When white light is used, central fringe will be white with red edges, and on either side of it, we shall get few coloured bands and then uniform illumination.
