The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the Young's double slit experiment with a white light source, where one slit is covered with a red filter and the other with a blue filter, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - In a Young's double slit experiment, light from a coherent source passes through two slits, creating an interference pattern on a screen. - Here, we have a white light source, which contains multiple wavelengths (colors). 2. **Applying Filters**: - One slit is covered with a red filter, allowing only red light to pass through. - The other slit is covered with a blue filter, allowing only blue light to pass through. 3. **Analyzing the Light**: - The light coming from the first slit is monochromatic red light. - The light coming from the second slit is monochromatic blue light. - Since the two slits are illuminated by different colors of light, the light waves are not of the same wavelength. 4. **Condition for Interference**: - For interference to occur, the light waves from both slits must be coherent and monochromatic (i.e., of the same wavelength). - In this case, the red and blue lights are not coherent with each other because they have different wavelengths. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since the condition for interference (monochromatic light from both slits) is not satisfied, no interference pattern will form on the screen. - Therefore, there will be no interference fringes observed. ### Final Answer: There will be no interference fringes due to the use of different colors of light from the two slits. ---
