If the source of light used in a young's double slit experiment is changed from red to violet

A

the fringes will becomes brighter.

B

consecutive fringes will come closer.

C

the intensity of minima will increase.

D

the central bright fringe will become a dark fringe.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As `beta = (lambda D)/(d) :. Beta prop lambda`
or `(beta_( r))/(beta_(v)) = (lambda_(r ))/(lambda_(v)) gt 1` or `beta_(v) lt beta_( r)`
So, fringe width will decrease, hence consecutive fringes will come closer.
