Yellow light emitted by sodium lamp in Y...

Yellow light emitted by sodium lamp in Young's double slit experiment is replaced by monochromatic blue light of the same intensity:

A

fringe width will decreases

B

fringe width will increases

C

fringe width will remain unchanged

D

fringe will becomes less intense

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We know that `beta=(lambdaD)/d & lambda_(yellow) gt lambda_(blue)`
`rArr` as `lambda` decreases, so `beta` also decreases.
