Describe Young's double slit experiment....

Describe Young's double slit experiment. State the nature of the distribution of intensity of light on the screen. What happens of the distribution of intesity if one of the slits is covered?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When one of the slits is covered with an opaque screen, the interference fringes would disappear and the screen would appear to be illuminated uniformly.
