The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that when using blue light instead of red light in an interference pattern, the fringes become narrower. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason provided explains the relationship between fringe width (β), wavelength (λ), distance from the slits to the screen (D), and the distance between the slits (d). The formula given is: \[ \beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d} \] This indicates that fringe width (β) is directly proportional to the wavelength (λ). ### Step 3: Compare Wavelengths We know that the wavelength of red light (approximately 700 nm) is greater than that of blue light (approximately 450 nm). Thus, we can conclude: \[ \lambda_{\text{red}} > \lambda_{\text{blue}} \] ### Step 4: Analyze Fringe Width From the formula for fringe width: - If we use red light, the fringe width is: \[ \beta_{\text{red}} = \frac{\lambda_{\text{red}} D}{d} \] - If we use blue light, the fringe width is: \[ \beta_{\text{blue}} = \frac{\lambda_{\text{blue}} D}{d} \] ### Step 5: Conclusion on Fringe Width Since \(\lambda_{\text{red}} > \lambda_{\text{blue}}\), it follows that: \[ \beta_{\text{red}} > \beta_{\text{blue}} \] This means that the fringes produced by red light are wider than those produced by blue light. ### Step 6: Final Evaluation Thus, the assertion is true (the fringes become narrower with blue light), and the reason correctly explains why this is the case. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
