What will be the effect on interference fringes if red light is replaced by blue light?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`beta = (D lamda )/(d) , i.e., beta prop lamda`, the wavelength of blue light is less than that of red light, hence if red light is replaced by blue light, the fringe width decreases, i.e., fringes come closer.
